What Emission Standard Does the Ford Escort Comply With?
2 Answers
The Ford Escort complies with the China VI emission standard. The Escort is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with the following dimensions: length 4587mm, width 1825mm, height 1490mm, and a wheelbase of 2687mm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. The Escort is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 90 kW at 6500 rpm and a maximum torque of 152 Nm at 4500 rpm.
I've been driving a Ford Escort for almost five years, and I specifically asked about the emission standards when purchasing the car. Models produced after 2017 all meet the China 5 standard, but it depends on the exact manufacturing date. I recall that the facelifted models from the 2019 version onwards started to comply with the China 6b standard, especially the new models equipped with the 1.5L three-cylinder engine. The easiest way to check the emission standard is to look at the environmental label on the windshield or refer to the appendix of the vehicle conformity certificate. Last year, there was a used Ford Escort in our neighborhood that couldn't enter the city due to its China 4 standard, making the transfer of ownership problematic. So, it's crucial to pay extra attention to the manufacturing date on the nameplate when buying a used car.
