Is the Mercedes-Benz C260 compliant with China 6 emission standards?
2 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz C260 complies with the China 6 emission standards and is equipped with Mercedes-Benz's 48V mild hybrid system. Taking the 2020 Mercedes-Benz C260 as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category with the following dimensions: length 4784mm, width 1810mm, height 1457mm, wheelbase 2920mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz C260 features a multi-link independent suspension at the front and rear, powered by a 1.5L turbocharged engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 156PS, maximum power of 115kW, and maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
The Mercedes-Benz C260 definitely meets the China VI emission standards in China. I've been driving Mercedes cars for a long time and I'm well aware that the China VI standard is a new emission regulation implemented since 2019. All new cars since then must comply with it. As a flagship model of Mercedes-Benz, the C260 has long upgraded its emission system, including improved catalytic converters and particulate filters, which can reduce nitrogen oxides and particulate matter in exhaust emissions. When buying a car, be sure to check the specific model year—those from 2019 onwards are fine. Environmental policies are becoming increasingly stringent, and now in the used car market, the residual value of China V standard cars is dropping rapidly. I recommend buying a new car or a used car from recent years. Regular maintenance should pay attention to the emission system to avoid faults affecting the annual inspection. When choosing a car, I always focus on fuel consumption and environmental labels—it's economical and eco-friendly to drive.
