Changan Yuexiang can use both 92 and 95 grade gasoline. Here is some relevant information: 1. Exterior: The first-generation Yuexiang had a rather mediocre design. The proportions of the front end and body revealed a somewhat childish feel, as if it was designed by someone accustomed to drawing cartoons. It could easily blend into a crowd of cars without standing out. 2. Interior: The tactile and visual experience gives a very firm impression. Tapping on the plastic parts doesn't produce a hollow sound, indicating the plastic quality is above average. It features faux leather seats, a sunroof, a reasonably sized central control screen, and electric rearview mirror adjustment. Overall, it doesn't feel too 'basic', as all essential configurations are quite complete.

I drove a Changan Alsvin for several years and always used 92-octane gasoline. The car's engine has a simple design with a low compression ratio, so 92-octane fuel matches perfectly, ensuring smooth combustion and sufficient power. Using 95 or 97-octane fuel unnecessarily can lead to carbon buildup and affect performance—costing more without any real benefit. I compared fuel consumption and found that 92-octane saves a lot on fuel costs compared to higher grades, while the engine runs quietly without any knocking issues. Always choose unleaded gasoline from reputable gas stations to avoid counterfeit fuel, and regularly replacing the air filter can help extend the engine's lifespan. In short, following the car manual's recommendation and sticking with 92-octane is the most reliable approach—saving money while taking good care of your car. Don't fall for the marketing hype pushing higher-octane fuels; keeping it simple is best.

At our dealership, we've seen numerous cases of Yuexiang models, and we always recommend using 92-octane gasoline. The engine's compression ratio is relatively low, so the anti-knock properties of 92-octane are sufficient. Using higher-octane fuel like 95 may lead to incomplete combustion, causing abnormal vibrations or excessive emissions. I often remind car owners: always check the fuel pump label before refueling to avoid mixing fuels; using low-quality fuel can clog the injectors, making repairs troublesome. Plus, using 92-octane is economical, saving hundreds in fuel costs annually. Don't neglect engine maintenance either—regularly clean the spark plugs to ensure smoother overall operation. The key is to follow the vehicle's design; if the manual specifies 92-octane, don't experiment with other grades to avoid unnecessary risks.

As an ordinary office worker commuting with a Yuexiang, I insist on using 92-octane gasoline. The engine isn't picky, running smoothly on 92-octane with quick starts and responsive handling. When friends ask about using higher-octane fuel, I see no need—it costs more without noticeable power gains. I always confirm the 92-octane pump dispenses unleaded fuel; even one mistake might trigger the engine light, requiring repairs. New owners should develop good habits: check station labels to avoid low-octane or adulterated fuel that harms engine longevity. 92-octane offers great value and peace of mind.
