What is the emission standard of Changan CS15?
2 Answers
Changan CS15 complies with the China V emission standard. The automotive emission standard refers to the regulations on the content of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and soot emitted from vehicle exhaust. The dimensions of Changan CS15 are: 4135mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1630mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2520mm. The front suspension of Changan CS15 is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 107ps, a maximum power of 78.5kw, and a maximum torque of 145nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade and frequently encounter the Changan CS15. Its emission standards vary depending on the production year. For instance, older models around 2016 mostly comply with China V standards, while newer versions after 2019 generally meet China VI standards as the latter became mandatory then. If you're unsure about the specific model year, the simplest method is to check the manufacturing date on the vehicle's nameplate or VIN code, where you can also find the environmental label. Regular engine maintenance is crucial for reducing exhaust emissions – timely oil changes and air filter replacements help prevent emission system failures, save fuel costs in the long run, and avoid annual inspection hassles. Remember, China VI-compliant vehicles enjoy more flexibility in urban restricted zones, so always verify the production year carefully before purchase, especially if driving in major cities.
