What National Emission Standard Does the Volkswagen Lavida Belong To?

[DiPhoebe]

Volkswagen Lavida belongs to the National V emission standard vehicles. The National V emission standard control level is equivalent to the Euro 5 emission standard currently implemented in Europe, which imposes more stringent restrictions on vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. The body dimensions of the Volkswagen Lavida are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm and a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. The Volkswagen Lavida is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, a maximum power of 110 kW, and a maximum power speed of 5000 rpm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The emission standard of the Volkswagen Lavida depends on the specific year. My Lavida was purchased in 2019, and the new models at that time were mostly China 6 compliant, meeting the current high standards. If it's an earlier model, such as the 2017 version or older, it might still be China 5 compliant. You can check the vehicle qualification certificate or registration certificate when purchasing, and the 4S store will also provide an emission label. China 6 vehicles produce less pollution and are more practical in large cities with fewer traffic restrictions. I currently drive a China 6 version, and the fuel consumption is not high, making it fuel-efficient and worry-free for daily commuting. In the used car market, China 5 models are cheaper, but considering future policies, China 6 models are more long-term. I recommend everyone to pay attention to emission standards to avoid usage restrictions.

When I first bought a car, I researched the emissions of the Lavida. Now, most newly released models meet the China 6 standard, which has higher environmental requirements. For example, when choosing a car, I specifically picked one that meets China 6 standards because it has lower pollutant emissions, reduces air pollution, and helps protect the urban environment. Older models that meet China 5 standards are still functional, but in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, there might be restrictions on where China 5 cars can drive, which could affect convenience. A friend recently bought a new Lavida, and the 4S store directly informed him that it complies with China 6b, so he doesn’t need to worry about annual inspection issues. If you’re considering a used Lavida, check the emission level on the registration certificate—it’s straightforward. In the long run, China 6 cars hold their value better, so I recommend prioritizing new cars or recent used cars that meet China 6 standards.

The Volkswagen Lavida's compliance with China 5 or China 6 emission standards depends on the model year. I learned this when buying a used car - older models are likely China 5, while those from recent years are mostly China 6. A simple way to check: look for emission information on the vehicle registration certificate or check the production date label. For example, during the 2018 transition period, some were China 5 while others were China 6, but all newly produced vehicles after 2019 meet China 6b standards. This significantly impacts annual inspections and traffic restrictions. I recommend clarifying this when purchasing - dealership salespeople can explain clearly. China 6 vehicles are more environmentally friendly; my own has run problem-free for two years with reasonable costs. Also pay attention to emission compatibility when replacing parts.
