What octane gasoline does the Volkswagen Tayron use?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Tayron requires gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or higher. Precautions for refueling: 1. Choose to refuel when the temperature is relatively low; 2. If the car is not used for a long time or used infrequently, keep a small amount of fuel; 3. Do not refuel when a tanker truck is unloading fuel; 4. Turn off the engine when refueling a gasoline vehicle. For the most basic powertrain, the Tayron is equipped with FAW-Volkswagen's newly upgraded 'TSI+DSG' golden powertrain combination. The 2.0T high-power version engine delivers a maximum power of 162kW and a maximum torque of 350N·m, providing strong power. It is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, ensuring smoother gear shifts, making it an ideal daily commuting vehicle. Features such as Traffic Jam Assist, ACC adaptive cruise system, lane keeping, hill start assist, panoramic visual parking system, and pre-collision safety system are included. Beyond these, the Tayron's body uses high-strength steel at a proportion of up to 87%, and it is the only SUV in its class to come standard with a high-strength resin chassis underbody protection panel across all trims. It can be said that safety is completely worry-free, and driving is even more relaxed.
I've been driving my Volkswagen Tayron for over three years now, always using 95-octane gasoline, which I feel works best. The manufacturer recommends using 95-octane unleaded gasoline in both the user manual and on the fuel tank cap. I once tried using 92-octane to save money, but the engine noise increased, there was slight shaking, and fuel consumption rose by about 0.5 liters. Later, when I went to the 4S shop for maintenance, the technician explained that lower-octane gasoline has poor anti-knock properties, which can easily cause knocking and damage the engine. The Tayron's engine is finely designed, and 95-octane gasoline ensures stable combustion and protects the turbo components. I also prefer using Sinopec's fuel for its guaranteed quality. For daily city commuting, the fuel consumption is around 8 liters, and on the highway, it can go down to 6.5 liters, which is quite worry-free. I suggest fellow car owners not to save on this small expense, as using 95-octane long-term actually lowers maintenance costs.
