Does the Vezel require 95 octane fuel?
2 Answers
The Vezel does not require 95 octane fuel. The recommended fuel grade for the Vezel is 92 octane, so there is no need to use 95 octane gasoline. Using 92 octane fuel is sufficient to meet the engine's operational requirements. Generally speaking, Japanese cars typically use engines that run on 92 octane fuel, with only some turbocharged engines requiring higher-grade 95 octane gasoline. The Vezel is GAC Honda's first SUV, with body dimensions of 4294mm in length, 1772mm in width, and 1605mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. In terms of exterior design, the Vezel features a winged front grille design, with a mysterious and elegant black as the base tone, integrating the grille and headlights to highlight a bold and sophisticated personality. The LED headlights with dual-lamp design, combined with the curved LED daytime running lights, perfectly unify elegance and sharpness.
I've been driving the Vezel for three years and always use 92 octane fuel, which feels perfectly adequate. The 4S dealership said at purchase that 92 is the minimum requirement, and while 95 can be used, it's not necessary. Once on a trip, only 95 octane was available at the gas station, so I tried it and had no issues—fuel consumption didn't change much. The engine runs smoothly with no knocking sounds. In fact, the Vezel's engine design is quite accommodating, with no high octane requirements; using 92 saves money and is more eco-friendly. Whether for daily city commutes or highway cruising, it performs well—just avoid cheaper 89 octane or lower-grade fuels to prevent engine carbon buildup or performance drops. Always check the manual's recommendations, which clearly state 92 octane as the baseline. There's no need to spend extra on 95 unless you're racing or frequently driving under heavy loads. Remember to regularly check fuel quality—safety comes first.
