With the explosive growth of China’s vehicle ownership, energy consumption and emissions from passenger vehicles become a major concern. The fuel consumption standards for passenger vehicles play an essential role in addressing such issues. In this study, four most important aspects of China’s fuel consumption standards, i.e., evaluation standard, constraint form, basic curb weight and the slope, are investigated. By establishing the database comprising the major characteristics of 2010–2015 new vehicles, the rationale of each aspect and the influences on China’s vehicle market and manufacture are analyzed. The results indicate that the evaluation standard and constraint form have strong impacts on the motivation of manipulation and the stress of achieving the standard targets. On the other hand, the basic curb weight and the slope have strong impacts on the change of curb weight and technology friendliness of lightweighting.
