Can the new Sagitar use 92 gasoline?
2 Answers
The new Sagitar cannot use 92 gasoline, as its entire lineup is equipped with turbocharged engines, and using 92 gasoline may cause engine knocking. The dimensions of the new Sagitar are: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, with a wheelbase of 2731mm. The front suspension of the new Sagitar is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. It is powered by a 1.2L turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 116ps, maximum power of 85kw, and maximum torque of 175nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I often drive the new Sagitar to commute and have tried using 92-octane gasoline. The official manual usually recommends 95-octane or higher because the engine has a high compression ratio. While 92-octane can work in the short term, the power output is slightly weaker, and sometimes it feels a bit sluggish when climbing hills. Long-term use may lead to incomplete combustion, increasing the risk of carbon buildup or engine knocking. I once opted for 92-octane to save money, but after a few months, my fuel consumption actually increased slightly. I suggest checking the user manual or consulting a 4S店 technician before refueling to confirm the specific requirements for your model. Using 92-octane occasionally in emergencies is generally fine, but it's best to develop a habit of using higher-octane fuel. Regular maintenance and using clean fuel can significantly protect the engine and extend its lifespan.
