Does the 2018 Edge meet China 6 emission standards?

The 2018 Edge meets China 6 emission standards and is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine across all variants. The 2018 Edge is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of 4878mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1734mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2850mm, a fuel tank capacity of 70L, and a curb weight of 1845kg. It adopts a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, delivering a maximum horsepower of 245PS, peak power of 180kW, and maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

I've been keeping an eye on the Edge model, and the 2018 Ford Edge in China generally adheres to the China 5 emission standard, not China 6. The China 6 standard was gradually implemented starting in 2019, with China 5 being the mainstream before that. If you want to confirm whether your car meets the China 6 standard, the most straightforward method is to check the environmental information on the vehicle certificate or the environmental label on the windshield. When I purchased the car, I paid special attention to this point because China 6-compliant vehicles have smoother registration and access in some major cities, reducing restrictions. However, the 2018 Edge, as a midsize SUV, offers good performance and reliability, making it suitable for daily use. If you're in a China 6 region and want to avoid future issues, I recommend contacting the local vehicle management office or a 4S store for verification. Overall, considering emission standards when buying a car is important, but the vehicle's practicality should also be well evaluated.

Regarding the 2018 Edge, as far as I know, it mostly only meets the China V emission standard, not reaching the China VI level. The China VI standard was promoted around 2019, and most production years before that were China V. When helping a friend choose a car, I specifically checked the information. As a popular Ford model, the 2018 Edge, while having sufficient power and space, requires attention to its emission standard, especially in cities with driving restrictions. You can quickly verify this by checking the notation on the vehicle registration certificate to avoid future issues with licensing or annual inspections. If the vehicle is an older model, maintaining regular maintenance is key, such as keeping the engine and exhaust system in good condition, which can also reduce fuel consumption. In short, when selecting a used car, double-check the emission data to avoid being restricted from certain areas.

Regarding emission standards, the 2018 Edge generally complies with China V. China VI is more stringent and became widespread after 2019. To confirm this vehicle, I usually check the engine number against the emission standard via the environmental label. For city driving, emissions have minimal impact, but if purchasing new, China VI is currently more eco-friendly. I recommend using a mobile app to input the license plate for real-time emission data to avoid future hassles.
