What is the emission standard of Vios?

The emission standard of Vios depends on the specific model: 1. Models before 2018 comply with the China V emission standard; 2. Models after 2018 comply with the China VI emission standard. Taking the Vios 2021 Manual Forward Edition as an example, it is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4435mm in length, 1700mm in width, 1490mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2550mm. The Vios 2021 Manual Forward Edition is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 81 kW and a maximum torque of 138 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've driven the Vios several times, and this model now basically meets the China VI emission standards domestically. China VI is currently the most stringent standard, imposing higher requirements on engines and exhaust purification to reduce carbon monoxide and particulate pollution. Before purchasing, check the vehicle's production year - if it's a version produced after 2020, it mostly meets the China VI-b level. This standard is crucial when buying cars in major cities as it directly affects whether the vehicle can be licensed or faces driving restrictions. I recommend checking the VIN or confirming with dealers to avoid purchasing outdated models. The Vios is economical with low fuel consumption, and its emission upgrade has also improved fuel efficiency, making daily driving more reassuring. When I chose my car, I particularly valued this aspect - environmental friendliness and peace of mind are long-term considerations.
