What octane rating is recommended for the Sagitar 1.4T?
1 Answers
The official recommendation for the Sagitar 1.4T is no less than 93 octane, meaning 93 octane is acceptable. However, since it's a direct-injection turbocharged engine, it's advisable to use 95 octane gasoline to prevent engine knocking. Generally, turbocharged engines require at least 95 octane fuel to avoid knocking. Here are some details about the engines equipped in the Sagitar: (1) The new Sagitar series is equipped with three types of engines: 1.4TSI, 1.8TSI, and a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. (2) The 1.6L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine in the new Sagitar is very mature in technology. With 4 valves per cylinder compared to the previous generation's 2 valves per cylinder, both intake and exhaust are smoother, improving low-speed torque and high-speed power.
