What grade of gasoline does the New Bora 1.4T use?
3 Answers
New Bora 1.4T uses 93-grade gasoline. The following is additional information: Introduction to gasoline grades: Gasoline grades represent the anti-knock performance, with higher grades indicating better anti-knock capability. Introduction to Bora: The Bora is a compact car under FAW-Volkswagen. The vehicle measures 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. In terms of exterior design, the Bora adopts Volkswagen's family-style front face design, featuring distinctively layered headlights with a wing-shaped design that enhances the three-dimensional effect. The rear design has undergone changes in contour and light clusters compared to the current model, and the body lines have also significantly diverged from the current Bora, becoming more fluid. Additionally, it features a newly designed aluminum alloy wheel style.
I've been driving the New Bora 1.4T, and the manual recommends using 95-octane gasoline, so I always fill up with that. Volkswagen's turbocharged engine has a high compression ratio, and the 95-octane fuel has better anti-knock properties to prevent engine damage. After using it for over two years, I feel the engine runs smoothly with an average fuel consumption of around 6 liters per 100 km, which is quite fuel-efficient. Occasionally, friends suggest trying cheaper 92-octane fuel, but I don't dare take the risk—I've heard others experienced reduced power and strange noises, and repairs can be a hassle. I recommend sticking to the recommended fuel grade and regularly checking the fuel system to maintain engine health in the long run. After all, driving isn't about saving money at the expense of the car.
Using 95-octane gasoline in the new Bora 1.4T is the correct choice, as the turbocharged design requires high-octane fuel to resist knocking. Although 92-octane fuel is cheaper, it has poor combustion performance and is prone to causing knocking, which can damage the pistons or cylinders over time, making it not worth the savings. I believe cars, like people, need the right fuel. 95-octane gasoline keeps the engine clean and reduces carbon deposits. In terms of fuel consumption, a full tank can last about 500-600 kilometers. While it is slightly more expensive economically, it reduces the risk of repairs, making it more cost-effective overall.
