What grade of gasoline does the Sagitar use?
3 Answers
The Sagitar uses 95-octane gasoline. It is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan. Taking the 2019 Sagitar Manual Fashion model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, with a wheelbase of 2731mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2019 Sagitar Manual Fashion model is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 85 kW and a maximum torque of 175 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using a multi-link independent suspension.
When I drove the Sagitar before, I checked the manual, which clearly recommended using 95-octane gasoline. The engine of this car has a high compression ratio, and 95-octane fuel burns cleaner and more stably, avoiding knocking or engine damage. Although 92-octane is cheaper, it may affect power and fuel consumption, and long-term use can also damage the spark plugs. I once tried 92-octane to save money, and the result was severe shaking during acceleration, which was quite alarming. Remember to check the fuel cap label or consult a 4S store expert to ensure safe and reliable driving. Also, pay attention to fuel quality and avoid using fuel with too many impurities—this will save you trouble and prolong your car's lifespan.
I've been driving a Sagitar for several years and always insist on using 95-octane gasoline. From experience, this car is quite particular about fuel - 95-octane brings out its best performance with strong power and fuel efficiency. While using 92-octane may work short-term, the engine noise increases and efficiency drops, making it not cost-effective. A quality fuel tip is to check the fuel system during regular maintenance to prevent carbon buildup or clogging. Personally, I prefer branded gas stations for cleaner fuel that also protects components from corrosion, extending the vehicle's lifespan.
