Does the Outlander meet the China 6 emission standard?
2 Answers
The Outlander meets the China 6 emission standard, but some models comply with the China 5 emission standard. The Outlander is manufactured by GAC Mitsubishi, classified as a compact SUV, equipped with a 2.0L L4 engine featuring natural aspiration, delivering a maximum horsepower of 166ps and a peak torque of 201nm. The vehicle measures 4705mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1710mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 6 gears), a top speed of 190 km/h, front-engine front-wheel drive configuration, and electric power steering.
With years of research in automotive emission technologies, I can confirm that the Mitsubishi Outlander indeed has models compliant with China's National VI emission standards. Since 2019, to meet the requirements of China's Phase VI emission regulations, updated versions of the Outlander have upgraded their engine exhaust treatment systems. Specifically, it is equipped with a GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter) and optimized ECU control, significantly reducing nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions. Most 2020 and later Outlander models meet the National VI-B standard, offering more environmentally friendly and reliable performance. In my practical comparisons, I've found that National VI-compliant vehicles are easier to license in cities with emission restrictions and have higher resale values. When purchasing, it's advisable to check the vehicle's environmental compliance certificate or directly confirm with the 4S store. Opting for the National VI version can also save money, as the high-efficiency engine improves fuel economy by over 10%, which is beneficial for long-term use.
