A wear-resistant and low-friction coated piston ring and a preparation method therefor are provided. The OD surface diamond-like carbon coating consists sequentially of a first metal interlayer, a second metal interlayer, a gradient DLC layer, alternating high/low hardness DLC layers, and an outer running-in DLC layer. The side surface diamond-like carbon coating consists sequentially of a metal interlayer, a gradient DLC layer, and alternating high/low hardness DLC layers. The preparation method employs physical vapor deposition to sequentially deposit composite DLC coatings on the OD surface and side surface of the piston ring. The coating is a tetrahedral amorphous carbon structure, exhibiting good thickness uniformity and fine grain structure. This improves the wear resistance of the piston ring's OD surface and side surface, reduces the aggressiveness of the piston ring side surface against the piston ring groove, and meanwhile avoids adhesion.
