07' VXR8 Emission

[VXR_HKG]

Does anyone know whether new VXR8 would pass Euro IV emission compliance? Where can I find information about this? I have been searching for this information for a few days with no luck. I would like to ensure it will pass the compliance before having one shipped to Hong Kong for road registeration. Thanks for your help in advance.

Is there anyone that's kind enough to find out the exact answer for me? I tried to call the CS at Vauxhall but they take UK request only... they want me UK address etc. Damn it!

Apparently, in UK all car registered after 1st Jan, 2007 must comply to Euro IV emission standard.

But I would like to make so sure VXR8 will make it.

VXR8 is consider as a low volume import?

Any passenger car imported (included private import) must comply to pass Euro IV emission standard. Now, I have contact all possible source, Vauxhall UK, HSV AUS and forums. No definate answer so far. Arrrhhh....!

The news from HSV Australia is that the 2007 HSV GTS is Euro III compliant but they are testing for Euro IV standard now. Therefore, I wonder they are testing for the Vauxhall VXR8 in the UK? Anyway, I will keep trying to dig out the figures.

Unfortunately, The Hong Kong motoring authority is pretty stubbon. Euro IV car only! Nothing else unless it is 15 years or older.

The best I could do is to keep digging until I found something. I will certainly post the result here!

A offical reply from VCA,

Dear

The 2007 Vauxhall VXR8 vehicles meets Euro III emission levels and have
been approved through the VCA Low Volume Vehicle Approval sheme.
Accordingly, there is no requirement by the VCA to detail the data on the
vcacarfueldata website.

However, herewith is the requested data.

(See attached file: VXR8.xls)

In case of further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you for your kind help and support.

After 1 July 2008, all Australian cars has to be comply with Euro IV emission, which means there is a chance to import the beast to Asia!! Good stuff!
