Does the new Elysee model meet China 6 emission standards?
2 Answers
The new Elysee model does not meet China 6 emission standards. It is a compact car under the Citroën brand. Taking the 2018 Elysee as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4427mm, width 1748mm, height 1476mm, with a wheelbase of 2652mm, fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, and trunk capacity of 485 liters. The 2018 Elysee is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 86kW and maximum torque of 150Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It features MacPherson strut independent front suspension and torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I've also been looking at cars recently. The Citroën Elysee might have a China 6 compliant version, especially for models after 2019, as China's China 6 emission standards require all new cars to meet the requirements, otherwise they cannot be registered. However, I heard that the Elysee has been discontinued, and it might be difficult to find brand new cars in the latest inventory. If there are any left, they should all comply with China 6b. When buying a car, remember to check the emission label on the vehicle qualification certificate to avoid purchasing a car with outdated standards. Actually, similar-priced models like the Citroën C4 C-Quatre or Peugeot 308 have clear China 6 compliant versions, and they feel quite similar to drive. Meeting emission standards is not only environmentally friendly but also makes the car more valuable when reselling. Last time I went to a 4S store to look at cars, the salesperson emphasized that China 6 compliant cars have smoother transfer processes, reducing future hassles. Don’t hesitate, act early to find a good deal!
