What is the emission standard for the 2013 Mondeo?
2 Answers
The 2013 Mondeo complies with the China V emission standard, which refers to the National Fifth Stage Emission Standard for motor vehicles. The 2013 Mondeo is a mid-size sedan with body dimensions of 4860mm in length, 1854mm in width, and 1480mm in height, a wheelbase of 2850mm, a fuel tank capacity of 62 liters, and a curb weight of 1540kg. The front suspension of the 2013 Mondeo is a MacPherson strut independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 181PS, a maximum power of 133kW, and a maximum torque of 240Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I drove a 2013 Mondeo, which was compliant with the China IV emission standard. This was quite common around 2013 since China V hadn't been fully implemented nationwide yet. It felt powerful to drive, but the emission standards made me a bit nervous when driving in urban areas, as major cities like Beijing had already started restricting China IV vehicles from being registered or entering the city. A friend of mine often faced restrictions because he chose a China IV car, so if you're buying a used car now, it's advisable to prioritize local policies to avoid getting stuck in restricted zones. Lower emission standards also mean faster depreciation in resale value—when it was time to upgrade, I felt like I lost a lot. It might be wiser to spend a bit more on a China V or higher model for better long-term value and peace of mind. Overall, it's fine for daily use outside core urban areas, but keep an eye on updates from local environmental regulations.
