What grade of gasoline does the Tayron use?

[Perez]

The Tayron uses 95-octane gasoline. It is equipped with the CUG 2.0T high-power engine and the DBF 2.0T low-power engine, with maximum power outputs of 220 horsepower (162 kW) and 186 horsepower (137 kW) respectively. The engines are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. In terms of features, in addition to standard functions like 360-degree panoramic imaging, the third-generation intelligent parking assist system, and blind spot detection, the Tayron also comes with the TJA traffic jam assist system. By combining ACC 3.0 adaptive cruise control with Lane Assist lane keeping, it achieves L2-level autonomous driving capabilities, significantly reducing driver fatigue.

I have 20 years of driving experience and have driven many Volkswagen models, including the Tayron. Most Tayron models are equipped with turbocharged engines, such as the 1.4T and 2.0T, and the manual clearly recommends using 95-octane gasoline for optimal engine protection. Higher-octane fuel reduces knocking, prevents engine overheating and carbon buildup, thereby improving power response and fuel efficiency. Occasionally using 92-octane fuel may not cause immediate issues, but prolonged use can damage turbo components, increase fuel consumption, and raise maintenance costs. It's advisable for owners to regularly check the label on the fuel tank cap or the owner's manual, which usually specifies the minimum 95-octane requirement. Never compromise on fuel quality to save money, as breaking down on the road someday would not be worth it. Pay attention to the fuel system's condition during routine maintenance, such as performing an annual cleaning, which can extend engine life and save on maintenance costs.

I just bought the Tayron not long ago and have looked up information online and consulted with fellow car owners. It generally requires 95-octane gasoline because the turbocharged engine needs higher octane to avoid idle instability or power lag. I once tried 92-octane and felt the car shook a bit during acceleration, and the fuel consumption was about 5% higher than with 95-octane. After doing the math, it's better to stick with 95-octane. Many people on online forums share similar experiences, such as using the wrong fuel possibly causing the engine fault light to come on, which could cost hundreds to fix. To save money, you can choose to fill up with 95-octane on gas station discount days or use app points for discounts, but don’t skip checking the manual to confirm the fuel type. Remember to briefly check the fuel specifications before each refill—developing this habit can prevent major issues.

Our family has been using the Tayron for over two years. This car is designed for family practicality, and the manufacturer recommends using 95-octane gasoline as the primary fuel because its matched engine is designed for higher performance to ensure smooth driving and safety. After switching to 95-octane, the engine noise decreased, and fuel consumption stabilized at around 8 liters per 100 kilometers. If you insist on using 92-octane, short trips may be fine, but long-distance driving could lead to reduced power and increased accident risks. For an SUV frequently driven on highways, sticking to higher-octane fuel is more reassuring. When refueling, pay attention to the fuel quality at gas stations—avoid small stations just to save money. Also, remember to regularly check the engine condition and don’t forget to service the fuel filter every 10,000 kilometers.
