Why does the Lavida 1.4T require 95-octane gasoline?
1 Answers
The reason why the Lavida 1.4T uses 95-octane gasoline: The Lavida 1.4T model is equipped with a turbocharged engine with a compression ratio of 10. Such an engine is more suitable for using 95-octane gasoline, as 95-octane gasoline is designed for engines with compression ratios between 10 and 11.5. Choosing the appropriate fuel grade with higher anti-knock properties can better protect the engine. The Volkswagen Lavida is positioned as a compact mid-range sedan, with body dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. The Volkswagen Lavida is powered by the EA211 engine, offering two displacement options: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4L turbocharged engine.
