Which Sedans Comply with China 5 Emission Standards?
2 Answers
China's fifth-stage motor vehicle pollutant emission standard, abbreviated as "China 5 Standard", applies to most vehicles produced between 2017 and 2018, including models from Haima, Dongfeng Xiaokang, Dongfeng, and others. However, this is not universally applicable as different regions implemented the emission standards at varying times. For specific information, it's advisable to consult local 4S dealerships. Methods to identify China 5 Standard vehicles: 1. The simplest method is to check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which clearly indicates the emission standard. This information can also be found on the vehicle registration certificate and is typically marked on the windshield. 2. Query through professional websites: Visit the official website of the Motor Vehicle Emission Pollution Supervision and Management Center for verification. Note that discrepancies may occur between the product certification and website information, with the website data being the authoritative source. 3. Present the vehicle registration certificate (original or copy) at the environmental protection window of the local vehicle management office or the regional Motor Vehicle Pollution Management Center. Staff members can provide the official emission standard information.
I've driven quite a few China V emission standard vehicles, such as the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Volkswagen Passat. These cars were all produced before 2017. When I purchased them, I paid special attention to the emission standards - China V represents the fifth phase of environmental requirements, which was quite common for new or imported vehicles between 2015 and 2017. I've also driven the Ford Mondeo and Chevrolet Malibu, which were very convenient to use in second-tier cities since not all areas had traffic restrictions. If you're considering buying a used car, you might want to prioritize mainstream brands from those model years - they're affordable and practical. China V vehicles have better emissions than China IV, but they don't meet the newer, higher requirements of the subsequent China VI standard.
