A CRH6A of the Sub-Central Line, BCR on Beijing–Kowloon railway

The CRH6 will be divided into three major types, according to stopping patterns:

  • CRH6A is the high speed version with a designed top speed 250 km/h (155 mph), top operating speed 220 km/h (137 mph) to be used on regional non-stop or express services. It uses a 2+2 transverse seating layout using reversible seats that have a similar level of comfort and space to that of intercity trains. There is a toilet on cars 1, 3, 5, and 7.[3]
  • CRH6F is the higher-speed version with a designed top speed 180 km/h (112 mph), operating speed 160 km/h (99 mph) to be used on express commuter services. It uses a 2+2 transverse seating layout with non-reverable seats that have a similar level of comfort and space to that of a suburban train. There is a toilet on cars 3 and 6.[3]
  • CRH6S with a designed top speed 140 km/h (87 mph), to be used on local commuter services. It will feature longitudinal seating arrangements similar to that of subway trains with more and larger doors for faster boarding and alighting. No models exist in revenue service but it is expected that the under construction Wenzhou Urban Railway and Suiguanshen ICR will use them.
