What type of fuel should be used for BYD Han?
3 Answers
BYD Han should use 92-octane gasoline. Correct method for selecting gasoline octane rating: Check the label inside the fuel filler cap. There is always a (recommended standard) sticker on the inner side of the car's fuel filler cap, which is the most accurate and scientific standard calculated by engineers based on comprehensive engine technical parameters. Importance of choosing the appropriate gasoline: Every vehicle's manual mentions a term called compression ratio. If a high-compression-ratio engine uses low-octane gasoline, it will result in incomplete combustion, severe engine vibration, reduced power output, component damage, increased fuel consumption, and poor driving performance. Conversely, if a low-compression-ratio engine uses high-octane gasoline, it will cause delayed combustion, meaning the auto-ignition point won't be reached even at maximum compression ratio, leading to incomplete combustion as well. This requires additional fuel injection to ensure power output, which not only provides no benefit to the engine but also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving the BYD Han DM-i hybrid for a while now, using it daily for commuting. It's perfectly suitable with 92-octane unleaded gasoline, being both economical and practical. In city driving, the fuel consumption is about 5-6L/100km, so I only need to refuel once a week. Just a reminder, the BYD Han comes in hybrid and pure electric versions. The pure electric Han EV doesn't require any fuel at all, as it can run hundreds of kilometers on a single charge. For the hybrid version, make sure the gas station has fresh fuel and avoid using low-quality gasoline to prevent engine issues. I currently stick to Sinopec's 92-octane fuel and find the power quite adequate. In the long run, this hybrid car offers good economy and simple maintenance, as long as you use the recommended fuel grade from the manual. Overall, this car offers great value for money, and refueling is hassle-free.
As a car enthusiast, I'm quite particular about the fuel requirements for the BYD Han. For the BYD Han hybrid version, it's best to use 92 or 95 octane unleaded gasoline, with 95 octane providing more stable acceleration at high speeds. The pure electric version can be charged directly, with fast charging taking just half an hour. The hybrid engine, combined with the battery system, optimizes fuel consumption, averaging around 6L. I recommend checking the fuel cap label to confirm the fuel grade and changing the oil regularly to maintain cleanliness and extend the vehicle's lifespan. The BYD Han EV is completely emission-free, making charging more environmentally friendly and suitable for daily commuting. Remember to check the vehicle manual before refueling to avoid any mistakes. Proper maintenance can keep the car running longer.
