Why can the Lynk & Co 06 use 92-octane gasoline?
2 Answers
The octane rating of gasoline required is related to the engine's compression ratio. The 06 model uses a lower-end engine, so it naturally uses 92-octane gasoline. Below is some relevant information about the Lynk & Co 06: 1. Exterior: The front grille features a blackened mesh design with split-type headlights. The daytime running lights and turn signals are positioned above the engine, while the main lighting headlights are distributed on both sides of the grille, paired with a prominent black front lip and air deflector slots on both sides, giving the front face a highly sporty appearance. 2. Interior: The steering wheel adopts a flat-bottom sporty design, and the T-shaped center console area resembles the style of the Lynk & Co 05. The top section features a large LCD screen, below which are the air vents, followed by the air conditioning control area with two knobs for adjusting temperature and airflow, while other modes are touch-controlled. 3. Powertrain: The engine is a three-cylinder 1.5T with a maximum power output of 130 kW and a peak torque of 265 Nm.
The Lynk & Co 06 can use 92-octane gasoline mainly because its engine compression ratio is not designed to be high, so it doesn't require high-octane gasoline to function properly. I usually drive this car and find it quite convenient; 92-octane gasoline is significantly cheaper than 95-octane, which helps save on daily expenses. Driving in the city with 92-octane hasn't caused any issues, and the acceleration is stable. The manufacturer's manual clearly states that this car is compatible with 92-octane gasoline and won't cause knocking or engine damage. Using 95-octane might not noticeably improve performance and could just be a waste of money. For regular driving, 92-octane gasoline is sufficient for commuting and small trips.
