Does the 2018 Edge meet China 6 emission standards?
2 Answers
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.
