What Octane Gasoline Does the Volkswagen Tayron Use?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen Tayron requires gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or higher. Here are some refueling precautions: 1. Refuel when temperatures are relatively low; 2. Maintain a low fuel level if the vehicle is unused or rarely used for extended periods; 3. Avoid refueling when tanker trucks are unloading fuel; 4. Turn off the engine when refueling a gasoline vehicle. Taking the 2020 Volkswagen Tayron as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of 4589mm in length, 18460mm in width, and 1660mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm. The 2020 Volkswagen Tayron is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The choice of fuel grade for the Tayron mainly depends on the engine version. For the 1.4T model with the EA211 engine, the official manual specifies 95-octane gasoline, and the label on the fuel tank cap clearly indicates this. I drive this version myself and always use 95-octane fuel, finding the power delivery smooth with an average fuel consumption of around 8L. Using 92-octane might not cause immediate issues, but long-term use can lead to carbon buildup and potentially trigger warning lights. For the high-performance version of the Tayron, it's recommended to use 98-octane fuel, especially when running the AC or climbing hills in summer, as higher octane fuel ensures more complete combustion and a more responsive throttle. Lastly, a reminder to new owners: always check the label inside the fuel tank cap before refueling, and don’t fall for gas station pitches about fuel additives—stick to what’s recommended.
