All new cars are exempt from smog for the first two cycles (2/4 years) after initial sale date.

The only exception to this is if you bought a car from out of state. CA law requires you to smog it when you first bring it in, even if it was within the 6-year exemption period. This is essentially an outdated vehicle code that is really no longer applicable, but it is not fixed because no one really cares about it.
