Does the Cadillac ATS-L comply with China 6 emission standards?
2 Answers
Cadillac ATS-L does not have models that meet China 6 emission standards; the vehicle's exhaust emission is set at China 5 standard. Below are the specific details about the Cadillac ATS-L: 1. The Cadillac ATS is a compact luxury sports sedan introduced by the Cadillac brand. It is the most agile and lightweight model in the Cadillac family and one of the lightest in its class. 2. It is equipped with a 2.0T engine, delivering peak torque and maximum power of 400 N·m and 279 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and standard paddle shifters. 3. In terms of chassis suspension, the rear-wheel-drive ATS-L features a double-pivot McPherson strut front suspension and a five-link independent rear suspension.
I previously drove a Cadillac ATSL, which was on sale from 2013 to 2019. It had strong power and excellent handling, but since it was discontinued in 2019 and China's National VI emission standards were only implemented in July 2019, the ATSL does not have any National VI-compliant versions. Most of the models available in the market are National V vehicles. If you plan to buy a used one, registering or transferring ownership in major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou might be troublesome due to local restrictions on vehicles below National VI standards. I recommend considering its successor models, such as the Cadillac CT4 or CT5, which comply with National VI standards and still carry the sporty DNA. When choosing a car, check the vehicle certification or VIN code to confirm the emission level to avoid purchasing problematic cars that could affect your experience. Overall, the upgrade in emission standards has accelerated the depreciation of older models, but this is a change driven by environmental trends.
