What grade of gasoline does the Qoros 5 use?
2 Answers
The Qoros 5 uses 95-octane gasoline. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled and cracked from petroleum, used as fuel, appearing as a transparent liquid. The Qoros 5 has a body size of: length 4600mm, width 1869mm, height 1658mm, a wheelbase of 2710mm, a minimum ground clearance of 180mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The Qoros 5 is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 145kW and a maximum torque of 290Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.
As an owner of the Qoros 5, I've been driving this car for two years and always use 92-octane gasoline. The manual clearly states that it's recommended to use 92 or 95-octane unleaded gasoline. I choose 92-octane because it's economical, providing sufficient power for daily commuting while being fuel-efficient.
If you mistakenly use a lower octane like 87, it may cause engine knocking, which sounds like metal clattering, and prolonged use can damage pistons and valves. While using a higher octane like 97 isn't a major issue, it's much more expensive and a complete waste of money.
I prefer refueling at reputable gas stations like Sinopec to ensure fuel quality and avoid impurities, keeping the car running smoothly. When traveling long distances, I check in advance whether 92-octane is available at gas stations along the route to prevent misfueling. Regular maintenance is also crucial—I inspect the fuel system every six months to ensure the car stays in good condition.
