Singapore’s adoption of the Euro 6 emission standard for motor vehicles – which begins from today – is set to have an impact on a number of car models. More than a dozen vehicles that are currently on sale in the republic do not meet the standard and are set to make an exit from the scene, some for good, The Straits Times reports.
Models impacted by the switch to the new Euro 6 include the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Nissan Teana as well as entry-level offerings such as the Nissan Almera and Toyota Vios. The seven-seat Honda Mobilio, Suzuki Swift and S-Cross, Hyundai Veloster and the entire Chevrolet range available in the country also fail to make the cut for the new emissions standard.
The adoption of Euro 6 for petrol vehicles from September 1 – which replaces Euro 4 in place now – will be followed by that for diesel vehicles on January 1 next year. Existing registered vehicles on the road are not affected by the new ruling.
According to vehicle importers and authorised agents, there are plans to bring back Euro 6-compliant versions of some of the cars in due course, but some models will exit the the market for good – these include the Nissan Teana, Honda Accord and Mobilio.
The report adds that most parallel import models from Japan will meet the standard- the country’s National Environment Agency (NEA) has deemed cars that have port-fuel injection engines and which meet the JPN2009 Japanese emission standard to be Euro 6-compliant.
The agency added that though the Japanese regulation’s 2016 limits are comparable to Euro 6 standards, authorised agents will be required to submit documentation from the vehicle manufacturers to establish compliance – a number of cars are sourced from Asian plants, and these are not made to comply with JPN2009 because there is no need to.
Another emissions scheme is set to follow the move to Euro 6, and this will come into effect in January, and experts say this one will have a more significant bearing on the motor industry.
The Vehicular Emissions Scheme will grant tax rebates or impose a surcharge on cars according to readings of five pollutants – carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and particulate matter. Under the scheme, a number of small turbocharged engines will attract a surcharge of as much as $20,000 (RM63,000), versus a rebate of at least $5,000 (RM15,750) now.

Well done Singapore. Jump from 4 to 6. Bad luck for complacent’s Japanese and the American old tech car.
Malaysia still in Euro 2 LOL. Malaysian government would like to think we are superwoman/man with indestructible lungs.
Wow..then we all should migrate to singapore..so advance indeed..and kiasu too
But migrate to singapore. Takda tongkat how to survive?
Can la. All come to Malaysia la
If Malaysia adopt the Euro 6 emission standard, I wonder how many Malaysian are afford to own motor vehicles LOL
Even Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines have been using clean petrol some time now. Why our gomen sleeping?
Reducing pollution is the mark of a developed country. Apparently your kind do not understand a simple concept like the EURO internal combustion engine emission standards. Your ignorance is a case of studying Math and Science in Malay. I will take Kiasu over Bangang anytime.
If u come out of cave, u can find Euro4 Ron97
Yeah Euro4 fuel wouldn’t do much without the car engine to filter the emission. Anyway we talking about vehicles emission not fuel quality.
Filter? You should look up the want the EURO car emission standards mean.
people want Euro 4 Ron 95. Can I buy this from the cave?
Can. Only need wait 1 more year.
still lying to people? Where next year?
Yes u can. Go BHP. BHP doesn’t have a refinery plant in malaysia so It brought in the petrol from BHP Singapore whwre the standard is higher than malaysia. This has been going around for some time.
Malaysia is still Euro 2?? The Philippines is already running Euro 4 for nearly two years already!
Philippines so advance..all people are rich
Nope. MY alredi got Euro5 2 years ago.
Our ROn 95 got Euro 5?? Please show proof?
Gomen say only 2020. That also maybe
only euro5 diesel available on selected gas stations, meanwhile highly demand ron95 petrol forever euro2m sweetness for you all. lol
Bolehland pipu and bashers suppork low emission jepunis and jepunis celeup cars rather than better euro5 engined p1 cars
Pipu want jepunis cars with archaic engines.
Look at Channel News Asia and look at Bernama News. You can see a whole world of difference. One is so intellectual and another tin kosong
“Intellectual” propaganda is still propaganda, theres nothing intellectual about.
intellectual better than lies. lies like malaysia got cheapest petrol in the world and cheapest car prices in the world
Only u said it, nobody else did.
Malu betul Malaysia……cannot give clean ron 95
Euro 2M is Euro 1.5 which was used 20 years ago in Europe.
20 years also cannot improve. How to feel bangga?
Europe went to Euro 3 in 1994. Now is 2017.
It takes Malaysia 23 years to catch up. When we are Euro 6, world already Euro 12
Wah compare Malaysia with Europe ! Seriously?
Even going to another level above euro 6 is something seems impossible. Look at the difference between euro 3 and 4 and the differences between euro 5 and 6.
Bodoh. Malaysia already have Euro5 la
Bangang.. Euro5 only diesel lerr.. Petrol at this day Ron95 @ Euro2M & Ron97 @ Euro4M.. Our lovely Govt will intro Euro5M based on their plan on 1/9/2025 @ another 8 years to go.. but very funny still got many like..
All that will come to a null when someone throws a full exhaust system at those cars sans the cat con…
In 1980 1 Malaysian Ringgit was EQUAL to 1 Singapore Dollar
37 years later 1 Singapore Dollar is now RM3.40
Singapore got nothing. Zero. Malaysia got oil, rubber, tin, kuprum, gold, silver, kelapa sawit, koko, lada hitam, nenas, banana, papaya, exotic minerals etc etc etc etc.
Singapore got ZERO resources VS Malaysia has tons of resources.
How can country with ZERO resources be FIRST World?
Why not put in 10x COE and living cost?
Their transport system is so good you do not need to slave for your own personal transport. Perhaps you should spend some time in Singapore to see for yourself the meaning of a developed nation. Whoops! I forgot. With the exchange rate at 1 SGD to 3.15 MYR you may not be able to afford staying in Singapore for even just one week. Bangang policies Dulu, Kini dan Selamamnya.
Really? Try going to Tuas with public transport. I dare u to find ur way back.
Don’t forget to mention back in 1965 Singapore’s GDP/capita was USD 516, higher than Malaysia at USD 310 (66% more) and 2.5 times more the average east Asian and Pacific countries at the time.
Singapore is inter-port country and so small..smaller than malacca. easy to manage and monitor with his draconian law and enforcement. but cost of living very high even singapore people also curse their government…
honda n toyota engines and gearboxes are mostly dinasour era.. but here in msia they are the king… msian loves old tech
Oi. So long inside cave. Toyota and Honda malaysia now having 6 speed AT la. Plus CVT. Lexus has 8 speed AT.
We talk about emission control and standard not about gearbox
and yet u can buy high polluting cars like lamborghini
Car club @ putrajaya
Not if it’s compliant. The same applies to big engined American vehicles- they’re guzzlers for sure but not polluters.
they are polluters…but if im not mistaken the category varies…as in for example the pollutant tolerance level for 5000cc and above is less strict… but of course we all know who drives such cars…thats why laws less strict
You all got it wrong. All over the world car companies has a gentlemen agreement that if they are producing a high CO2 car, they must also have a super low CO2 car to balance it back. VW has Lamborghini and Bentley. It it also has the super low Up and Polo.
Fiat has Ferrari and also the Fiat Panda.
Chevrolet has Corvette but also the tiny Spark.
Tata has Jaguar 5.0 but also Tata Nano.
And if anyone remembers why Aston Martin rebadged a Toyota IQ – it is for that very same reason.
Yeah, you got the point!
Because people who buy high performance car don’t bother about the SGD20k surcharge. It’s peanut for them. It’s the common Joe who can swallow a SGD20k surcharge for a Camry.
They cut back on carbon emissions while Indonesia burn forests next door smh
well, Malaysia will also switch to Euro 6 standard 60 years later..
Not such a big problem.We switching to Euro5 next year and 5 to 6 is not a big diff to environment but to refine it, yes.
gomen say Ron 95 will be Euro 4 in 2020. Where did you get info next year???
Where you get this or you just talk kok here
If bolehland that slow you dun even have those internet connection now
This is why Singapore currency is 3.4 to Ringgit Malaysia. They are so forward thinking and focused. They know, dirty petrol and diesel only bring more medical bills for the rakyat and the Government cause it causes cancer and respiratory diseases.
In Malaysia, our fantastic government is still allowing the sale of Euro 2M diesel and Euro 2 petrol. Let us face facts, though there is Euro 5 diesel, 90% of all vehicles still use Euro 2M diesel cause it is cheaper.
Euro 2M was banned in EU 10 years ago cause it is confirmed to be cancer causing and arsenic.
Sadly our gomen tido and not bothered to phase out Euro 2M diesel and also Euro 2M diesel vehicles.
I know it’s obligatory to bash G. I don’t deny that. But, wouldn’t refining to better quality petrol and diesel costs more? And translate into higher pump prices?
Theres no such thing as Euro2M diesel vehicles except in ur cave. Minimum diesel engine vehicles here is Euro3 and will be obsoleted next year 2018.
he was also talking about ron 95 which is Euro 2M. Try to better your English
Anyway, Europe started Euro 3 in 1994
Huh? U cant even read ur own last 4 words in ur wall of cave facts?
The so-called EURO2M is NOT an internationally recognised car emission standard. As usual a certain kind of people makes rules which are not consistenr with international standards to to favour their kind.
You think gov ppl don’t breathe? So they equally exposed. Now is the battle who has better luck..
Dont blame other while our self stilll pouring RON95 Minyak naik 5 sen pun sudah bising, mau guna euro 6M
See who owns ALL the private hospitals in Malaysia? Sime Darby owns SJMC, ARA etc etc
Pantai Holdings own all the Pantai Hospitals
KPJ owns nearly every private hospital
Only country in the world, where private healthcare is owned by the Government. So, of course, they are happy you fall ill with lung cancer
Sez the person who is oblivious to gov hospitals. Just pay Rm1 saja lah! R u even Msian by the way?
I think cigarettes cause more cancer than exhaust fumes
3.15 bro
Euro 2M has never been used in EU la.
Euro 3 was used in 1994 onwards. We are still not there in 2017
Bodoh. Euro 2″M” is only applicable in Malaysia, and nowhere else in the world.
Bob is right. Europe has Euro 1 and Euro2, but never has Euro 1.5 standards.
And yet here in bolehland we still stuck with archaic standards just to protect some greedy glcs. Ironically we are puzzled when singapore left us in the dust.
Only glcs? Why you din count those petrol companies? There got bigger revenues
This great! Environment protection matters more than some greedy cheapskate manufacturer.. Doubt m’sian gov got the balls to do this, UMW Perodua & Proton will run to the table asking for extension or delay and gov will just nod their head agreed to that..
Euro5 incoming 2018
I wish Euro 6 was standard in Malaysia today
I wish there are not many cars in bolehland like in Singapore, easier to implement such standard
Let’s wait for the RAPID Pengerang to start kickin in a few years later then we can have our euro 5-6 compliance fuel
By the time rapid is up n runnin the std would probably be euro 1mil. Onwer of rapid hvnt bothered at all with this euro shit. They wl serve the bare minimum thus max their profit
though Singapore has alot of cars on the road, but the air quality is noticeably cleaner than Malaysia.
Not surprised. SG is an island, therefore being coastal it has more constant wind blowing over it. Any air pollution wun stay long, except during dry season (when indomee starts burning).
Prove me it has more cars
Inggeris tak faham? Did he say got more?
Stand at any heavy traffic junction in Singapore and you will still breathe easily. Singapore went Euro 5 a long time ago. This is why Malaysia is backward.
Less vehicles so less polution, what so forward about it?
Luckily not to impose in Msia, which we will see 75% of car models will fail to comply.
Deswai jom naik mrt! Gomen pintar!
The most important is perodua and proton will be out of business. Their cars don’t even comply to Euro 4 standards.
CFE is Euro5 compliant engine. VVT is detuned to Euro4 standard. Get your fact right
Singapore is always ahead, doing the right thing. What’s new?
Ahead? How about normal broken SMRT ?
Ahead…hahaha..this cannot do…that cannot do…the people are like robot..no wonder most of them migrate to new zealand..and yet some ungrateful Malaysians are so hadap with that tiny island with nothi g much to do…
Grateful SG’s continuing effort to reduce air pollution Asean wide. Unlike our short sighted hybrid car program.
Good but will still not protect them from the haze. Also, if the vehicle can only use euro 6, while Malaysia even struggle to get euro 5 nationwide, they are just limiting their cars to their island.
Keyword : emission, emission, emission
It’s euro 6 emission not requiring euro 6 petrol bodoh. It’s how clean your engine burns fuel and how the exhaust system filters particulates
Euro6 cars can use lower grades of fuels. The car itself has better filters and combustion methods to lower emissions. Of course it’s always best to use euro6 fuel with a euro6 car, that would give the lowest emissions. But the same applies to using a 15 year old proton waja with euro5 fuel. Which doesn’t mean that the waja is all of a sudden a clean car. It’ll still burn very dirty, and filter very little.
I presume it also applies to cars entering Singapore.
Tht would be great. Last time singapore force such ruling, euro 5 diesel finally had to be made available in msia. Next hopefully euro 6 cars too.
If they do that then thats no more Malaysian car/lorry going to delivery their goods and services. Although they can draft up a plan like the Diesel Euro5 saga. Fine the Malaysian vehicles that don’t meet Euro6 standard. After that all the Malaysian dealer in the south have no choice but to import Euro6 standard vehicles. Win win for all side, Singapore strict governors draft the long law and Malaysia lazy politician just sit back and enjoy the knock on effects.
Cars yes. At least need pump Euro5 to enter. Motor no.
No,current cars are not affected and does not applies to cars entering Singapore at the moment.
So ontop of 10X COE now need to pay extra RM63,000 just for a car. Tenkiu southoverlord! U make car prices here even more merciful.
Win liao. Not satisfied with worlds most expensive cars. Kiasu knows no bounds.
@Periasamy in addition Singapore is the pioneer in this region for self-driving cars, AI and many more.
Jaguh kampung je tu, enter bolehland car got confused to drive itself, haha!
No need to use petrol, Malaysia need straight away move to EV
How i wished Malaysia emulated Singapore in total 100%, that include the exchange rate of 1 to 1 with expenditures to Singapore alike.Thence easier for Northern or Borneo people to cross the borders for cheaper goods. Ameen
U sure u want their highest cost of living too?
Or most exp cars in the world?
Or one of most exp homes?
Or most plotek gomen?
Or most kiasu?
Or most stressful living?
Or cannot stop working until final KO?
Who wants that kinda life?
Wait so singapore now no more accords on sale in singapore? Toyota untung habis then
While SG switch to Euro 6 emission compliance, here is million times worse since we scumbags even got nerve to remove fine working catcon in our junk cars (even driving in cool breeze also get choked by those nasty and highly poisonous fumes that i need to shut off all windows if there’s any vehicle pass by). Until those decat vehicles got pulled off from the road and sent to crusher, our emission standard upgrade will remain ‘kucing bertanduk’
Only european brands are ready for this. Therefore there is no chance in hell Malaysia G is going to take similar action.
Beside its will hit GLC and crony owned automotive companies very badly.. mana boleh..
Hangpa semua yg dok ada ni nak kena barah ka, nak paru2 hitam ka, nak mati ka.. nasib lah. Asai masa depan semua company2 ni terjamin sudah.
Your worshipped jepunis companies not ready? Lol
Am sure that those vehicles that failed Euro 6 will end up in Malaysia
Honestly its pointless to improve standards in Malaysia that has to do anything with environment/health/future when our mindset now if locked on pricing. In other countries, they are willing to pay extra for implementations, whether its sellers that uses biodegradable boxes without charges or emission taxes into cities. Most countries do so to improve on the future, and our health, but Malaysians only care for the current
this is not going to improve Singapore’s air. Pollution from Malaysia will just fly over their country when the wind blows.
aiyo… typical kiasu Singaporean.. why bother with the move? most of your cars on the road came across from JB anyway… and you Singaporean always come over to pump our inferior but cheap petrol also…
“kita eksport minyak sebab minyak kita paling berkualiti, harga pun tinggi..”
Interesting to see so many Malaysians are so supportive of higher Euro standard yet i wonder why current Euro 5 fuel sales by oil companies in Malaysia are low.
MY pipu in cities cakap tak serupa bikin. All want SG grade fuel at Venezuela prices.
Indons same people in Malaysia. What do you expect?
Good news… Malaysia will get more CBU Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Teana from SG left over stock. Pray hard and may get discount too. hahaha.
Stupid ppl tok kok…if malaysia implement then most of ppl wont able to afford own a car, no jobs, economy slump, and impact on environment wont reduce to your benefit and livelihood…pls think with brain nt mouth Gomen this Gomen that. Malaysia has much more cars and we rely on our cars much more than Kiasureans. KL is not Malaysia, and KL has much more better public transportation than 80% of the country. If implement then whole msia will suffer. Want improvements then pls improve our attitude towards each other n together make a change. So mindless lk chickens only.
Sg always ahead bez of COMPETITIVE N EDUCATED PPLE r the ministers of respective ministeries and v have as usual totally opposite scenario
Based on geng cukur logic here..,I can fill my spanking new persona with Euro 5 diesel?
Persona is not diesel car!
Who cares!!! Never gonna happen here la ok!
Dont bother, we are proud on achieving so many gold medals in the SEA Games.. and we are enjoying our holidays!
