What to Do with China V Vehicles After China VI Standards Take Effect?
2 Answers
Here are the handling methods for China V vehicles after the implementation of China VI standards: 2. Transport to regions where China VI is not enforced for sale: Currently, some regions in China still implement the China V emission standards. To avoid the risks posed by China VI policies, many 4S stores transport some inventory vehicles to regions where China V standards are not enforced for sale. This approach neither affects vehicle registration nor the selling price, only increasing the transportation cost. 3. Manufacturers sell at low prices: In regions where China VI policies are implemented, some manufacturers choose to sell China V vehicles at low prices to save transportation costs.
I've been driving a China V emission standard car without any issues, so there's no need to be overly concerned. After the implementation of China VI standards, China V vehicles can still be driven on the road, though there might be restrictions in some major cities, such as entering environmental protection zones. My car was purchased last year, and while its second-hand value has dropped a bit, it doesn't affect daily use. I suggest paying more attention to local policies and checking announcements from the traffic management department—generally, there shouldn't be problems during the transition period. Additionally, maintenance is crucial. Regular emission tests and changing the oil filter can extend the car's lifespan. From an economic perspective, if you own a China V car, don't rush to sell it. Drive it for a few more years until it's completely unusable. Buying a new China VI car is more environmentally friendly, but second-hand China V cars are more affordable—weigh your options accordingly. In short, don't panic over policy changes; the car is still usable.
