The Edge has China VI emission standard vehicles. Below are specific methods to check which emission standard a vehicle belongs to: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has clear markings on the back. 2. Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire. 3. Bring the motor vehicle registration certificate (original or copy acceptable) to the vehicle management office for inquiry. 4. For new vehicles, check the vehicle's factory certificate of conformity, which is generally kept at the vehicle management office. Therefore, it's recommended to make a copy when purchasing a car for backup. 5. Make a rough distinction based on the vehicle's registration year. Most vehicles registered after 2008 are China IV standard; vehicles registered in 2007 may be China III or China IV; vehicles registered before 2007 are mostly China III or China II standard; and vehicles registered before 2005 are mostly China II standard.

I just helped a friend check the emission information of the Edge, and it clearly states that there is a China VI version. Currently, all models of the Edge L on sale meet the China VI-b standard, and the older models have also switched to China VI since the 2020 version. When purchasing, pay attention to the environmental protection list, as China VI vehicles will be marked with a VI logo. There are some differences in requirements across different regions, with China VI-b being the strictest and eligible for nationwide registration. Before buying, it's best to clarify the emission batch with the dealer, as some inventory vehicles might still be early China VI-a models, which cannot be registered in regions like Beijing and Shanghai that implemented China VI-b ahead of schedule.

Of course, the Ford Edge has China 6 compliant models! My cousin bought an Edge PLUS last year with a China 6b label. Currently, most new cars sold at 4S dealerships are China 6b versions, but you need to be cautious with used cars. Edges manufactured after July 2019 are generally China 6 compliant, while some earlier models might be China 5. You can check the specific emission standard on the environmental label sticker on the windshield—those marked 'China VI' are compliant. Pay special attention to relocation policies: locally purchased China 6b models can be relocated freely, but some provinces only accept China 6b for cross-province transfers.

Must have China VI version. The Edge's 2.0T and hybrid models currently meet China VI-b emission standards, and fuel consumption data can be checked on environmental protection websites. In fact, since the 2019 facelift, the Edge has upgraded its three-way catalytic converter and particulate filter to meet the standards. It's easy to identify: the supplementary page of the vehicle license states 'China VI', or the engine model starts with 'CAF' indicating the new China VI-compliant engine. It's said that some models before 2022 were China VI-a, but they have long since transitioned to China VI-b.
