Why Was the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Discontinued?

[LeNicole]

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado was discontinued because it did not meet the China VI emission standards. Details of China VI Emission Standards: The China VI emission standard is the sixth-stage national vehicle emission standard. After its full implementation, the requirements for emissions such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons will become stricter. China VIa is only a transitional phase of the China VI standard, imposing more stringent requirements on carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and PM particulate matter emissions. Implementation of China VI Emission Standards: Provinces and cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Hainan, and Guangdong have announced that they will implement the China VI emission standards ahead of schedule. Among them, Hainan Province adopted the standard earliest, implementing the China VI standard from November 1, 2018.
