What grade of gasoline should be used for the Sagitar?
2 Answers
The Sagitar requires 95-octane gasoline because it is equipped with a turbocharged engine. Turbocharged engines operate under high pressure and temperature conditions within the cylinders, so using 95-octane gasoline helps prevent engine knocking. The Sagitar brand was jointly established by Volkswagen from Germany and FAW in China. In terms of body dimensions, the Sagitar measures 4544mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1461mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2578mm. The Sagitar is a spacious A+ class sedan that combines German engineering with modern and dynamic styling.
I remember driving my Sagitar for over five years now, and it's been running on 95-octane gasoline since the day I bought it. The manual clearly states that 95-octane or higher is recommended, and you should never cut corners by using 92-octane, otherwise the engine may experience knocking, which sounds like tiny particles crackling inside. Over time, it can also lead to carbon buildup, affecting performance and longevity. Once, by accident, I filled up with 92-octane fuel, and while driving on the highway, I noticed the acceleration was sluggish, the throttle response felt weak, which really scared me. I quickly switched back to 95-octane, and it took quite a while before the engine returned to normal. As an experienced driver, I really want to remind everyone to always check the gas station signs when refueling, make it a habit to verify the octane number on the pump, and don't let your engine suffer. Occasionally, also pay attention to fuel quality, avoid small gas stations, and ensure your car runs smoothly and reliably. During regular maintenance, don't forget to ask the 4S shop mechanics—they have a wealth of experience.
