Should the Range Rover Velar use 95 or 98 octane fuel?
2 Answers
Range Rover Velar uses 95 octane fuel. Additional information is as follows: 1. Design: The Velar continues the design language of the Range Rover family, but subtle innovations highlight the strong sporty character of this new model. The vehicle features a large black mesh grille, with slender matrix laser LED headlights that carry a strong family identity. From the side, the overall design of the Range Rover Velar is consistent with that of the Range Rover Sport, particularly the sloping D-pillar design that creates a floating roof effect. 2. Powertrain: The Range Rover Velar offers five powertrain options for consumers to choose from, including high and low power versions of the Ingenium series 2.0T diesel engine, a low power version of the Ingenium series 2.0T gasoline engine, a 3.0T twin-turbocharged V6 diesel engine, and a 3.0T supercharged V6 gasoline engine. Later, the model will also introduce a high power version of the Ingenium series 2.0T gasoline engine.
Last time I went to the 4S店 for maintenance, the technician showed me my Range Rover Velar's manual and said the car has a very high compression ratio. There's also a sticker inside the fuel cap indicating that 98 octane is the recommended option. 95 octane can be used temporarily in an emergency, but long-term use may cause knocking, with slight metallic tapping sounds heard during acceleration. Once on a long trip, I accidentally filled up with 95 octane, and the engine warning light actually came on. The diagnostic tool showed abnormal ignition timing. Now, gas prices are expensive, but considering the repair costs of this 3.0T engine, I still insist on using 98 octane—at least cold starts are smoother, and there's less throttle lag.
