What is the emission standard of the Audi Q2L?
2 Answers
The Audi Q2L has models that meet both China V and China VI emission standards. The automotive emission standard refers to the regulations on the content of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and PM (including particulates and soot) emitted from vehicle exhaust. The Audi Q2L is a compact SUV launched by Audi, with dimensions of 4236mm in length, 1785mm in width, and 1548mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2628mm. In terms of power, the Audi Q2L is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine across the entire lineup, delivering a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The emission standards of the Audi Q2L vary depending on the production year. I understand the Chinese automotive market—the Q2L launched in 2018 mostly adhered to the China 5 standard, as it was still the mainstream at that time. However, after the nationwide implementation of China 6 in mid-2019, newly produced Q2Ls were upgraded to the China 6 standard, with China 6B being more common. This change affects daily usage—for example, in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou with driving restrictions, China 6-compliant vehicles can avoid certain limitations and pass annual inspections more smoothly. When purchasing, check the production date or the vehicle compliance certificate—models produced after 2020 are generally China 6-compliant. The upgrade in emission standards also brings benefits, such as improved fuel efficiency, environmental friendliness, and reduced exhaust pollution. In summary, as a luxury compact car, the Q2L's standards align with regulatory upgrades, and it's advisable to choose the China 6 version for a longer lifecycle.
