Every car owner is interested in having it serve him faithfully for as long as possible. Add here a minimum of operating costs plus a maximum of amenities, and you will get the ideal car that every driver without exception dreams of. It could well be the Hyundai Solaris hatchback, but only on condition that the owners of such a car come to a common opinion - what kind of gasoline should be poured into it?
The debate has been going on for several years now, and car enthusiasts have a number of arguments for and against whether it is worth refueling a car using a passport. The results of their experiments are presented on numerous forums, and this information will certainly be useful to those who do not know what kind of gasoline to fill the Hyundai Solaris with. But first you need to understand why the issue of fuel brand is fundamentally important, and in what situations the use of fuel can cause serious problems in the car.
What is the fuel consumption of Solaris 1.6 on the automatic?
Fuel consumption Hyundai Solaris 2022, sedan, 2nd generation
| Modification | consumption , l/100 km | Fuel used |
| 1.6 l, 123 hp, gasoline, manual transmission, front-wheel drive | 6,0 | Gasoline AI-92 |
| 1.4 l, 100 hp, gasoline, automatic transmission, front-wheel drive | 6,4 | Gasoline AI-92 |
| 1.6 l, 123 hp, gasoline, automatic transmission, front-wheel drive | 6,6 | Gasoline AI-92 |
What fans of 92 gasoline say
Arguments regarding the ratio of price and quality in this case remain behind the scenes, but arguments regarding engine wear, if we take into account the experience of owners of cars of other brands, may be quite justified.
On the one hand, 95 grade fuel is cleaner than 92 grade gasoline, so engine deposits are minimal.
Consequently, not only the risk of detonation and subsequent fire of the car is reduced, but also the likelihood that the “engine” will have to be overhauled in a couple of years, removing a thick layer of soot from it. On the other hand, when using gasoline with a higher octane number, a car engine that is not designed for increased load will wear out much faster.
Of course, you can resort to probability theory and calculate in which of the two cases your Hyundai Solaris will go to the service station faster. But do not forget about the notorious manual, which quite clearly states that the octane number of fuel for this model of car should not be lower than 92. Therefore, gasoline of this brand is the permissible level below which you cannot fall.
So what kind of gasoline should you use in Hyundai Solaris?
Practice shows that if you fill a Hyundai Solaris with low-quality 92 grade fuel, which is often found at gas stations, the car will begin to behave inappropriately - “sneezing” and “spitting”, like a hundred-year-old grandmother. Therefore, the optimal option in all respects for this car is grade 95 fuel.
But it’s better not to experiment with gasoline, which has a higher octane number. Of course, hoping that the car will turn into a rocket, many people fill it with grade 98 fuel and at first experience real euphoria. Problems will begin later, when the engine, working virtually to the point of wear and tear, begins to malfunction.
Problems with ignition, vibration, unusual knocking - all this indicates wear of parts that will require replacement very soon. And it’s good if you manage to react in time to the atypical behavior of the car and drive it to a service station. Otherwise, you can become a hostage to the situation on the road, provoking an accident with tragic consequences.
What happens if you fill with gasoline with a higher octane number?

Hyundai is an omnivorous “horse”
The manual for Hyundai Solaris cars with an engine capacity of 1.4 and 1.6 liters states that the car should be refueled with gasoline with an octane rating of at least 92. That is, motorists are encouraged to start with a budget option, which, as practice shows, actually turns out to be most expensive.
If you follow the instructions, it turns out that, for example, the Hyundai Solaris 1.6 can be successfully filled with both grade 92 and grade 95 fuel fluid. Moreover, fuel with an octane number of 98 is also suitable. Theoretically this is true, but in practice that’s all not as wonderful as it seems at first glance. When wondering what kind of gasoline the Hyundai Solaris drives best on, you shouldn’t rack your brains for a long time over the answer: fill the tank with grade 98 fuel and, as they say, feel the difference. And then switch to the “native” 92 if you really want to extend the life of your omnivorous “horse”.

We pick up 95 rpm faster, switched to 92 to save money
Sergey, one hell of a saver) IMHO
Sergey, there is no saving!
Dmitry, do you mean that 10 liters of 95 will give the same amount of energy as 92?)
Max, 95 pulls better
1.6at, 95 and 92 difference is 0, after buying the car I drove 92 for 2 months, then a month on 95 and now for the 4th month I drive 92 per month with mileage of 6+ thousand. Lei 92 and don’t worry)
When I change the oil I'll check it at 95) is it better to pull or not?
Seryozha, it’s strange, but at the gas station they write that 92 is cheaper than 95, are they deceiving?
Sergey, hahahahahaa
Well, if you look at the price tags, then everything is true :)))) About the octane number, etc. Did you hear something or something? :)))
Max, it all depends on your pocket, the 92 is not much economical in terms of budget, there is no saving in terms of consumption, not on the 92, not on the 95. The 95 does not drive much better, this is clearly noticeable on old oil.
On the highway it always showed 6 liters, sometimes a little more and this is 95 Gazprom at a speed of 90 to 120 km/h, and then the other day I went on a long drive and let me think I’ll try 95G, the consumption dropped significantly to 5.1 at a speed of 100-110, in the city at 92 shows 8-9, on 95 7-8
Seryozha, I heard it in childhood))) and I still believe that 95 is more than 92...even if only by a little bit
Sergey, well, I don’t know how these economy gurus travel there and how often, but I really see the difference. At 92 I come to the gas station more often than at 95. At 95 the car drives faster. Due to the fact that the octane number is higher at 95, the car eats less. And I know that now our skeptics will say that this is all nonsense and there is no difference. These people probably use their car once a week, so they don’t notice how often they come to the gas station. But driving around the city for 20-30 minutes and believing the testimony of the on-board vehicle is stupid.
Vova, so it will be.
At 95, consumption dropped by 2-3 liters. Now I use 95 and the car runs smoother.
the myth about this has long been destroyed, in order to feel the difference in grip, the increase in power must be at least 10%, and gasoline cannot give that much, so pour 92, there is zero difference and the cost is cheaper
Seryoga, then why is it that at 92 my uncle’s Toyota valves rattle and the traction is poor, but at 95 it’s quiet and drives well? So 95 is better than 92
Vova, God knows what is rattling there) fix the car) I don’t have anything rattling at 92 or 95, maybe you have a placebo effect?
Seryoga,
92 lei, we just have Solaris)) 95 at some gas stations is more polluted than 92
Well, dude guys! I poured 92 and 95 into the mower and looked at which one would get the most mileage, drove with the same intensity and in the end, 95 turned out to be more in terms of mileage! My choice is 95, maybe someone thinks differently, but this is just my research)
Seryoga, show me these destroyers! You also forgot to write that the octane number was invented by fools and does not exist :)))
2-3 liters are already fairy tales. Maximum per liter, even if you pour 95 with additives. And so, I have the lowest consumption on Lukoil, and the difference is noticeable.
Seryozha, I saw a video with an experiment, they tested gasoline, nowhere does the octane number match the one they call it
Seryozha, some people here notice that the car drives more actively when the eco mode is turned off.
Seryoga, ahh video. Well, yes, Mr. YouTube is nowhere more authoritative. Perhaps I will believe him rather than my own observations. They know better there, they constantly cut through my car and will tell you how to do it right. Sorry, I really asked a stupid question. What other octane number... pfft, that's fantastic :))
I haven’t tried 92 at all. The manufacturer recommends 95, why experiment?
Seryozha, or do you want to say that gasoline can add 10%? Anything less is not noticeable?
Yuri, this is the very best. Those who clearly rummage around in the cars of those ecos and work, you simply won’t understand :))) The “butt meter” is much better developed in such people than in others
How is an engine overhaul done on a Solaris?
The high degree of wear when two aluminum parts come into contact (piston and cylinder walls) forces engineers to come up with new means to prevent rapid wear.
Often a cast iron liner is pressed into the cylinder block , which wears out much more slowly than aluminum. But there are other methods, for example, on expensive high-performance engines, the cylinder walls are chemically treated with nickel and silicon carbide to obtain a durable wear-resistant surface, or the cylinder mirror is etched and a surface with a high silicon content is obtained.
Impossibility of boring
These are very effective, but expensive methods; moreover, it is often impossible to bore such a cylinder to the repair size.
Cylinder block liner.
The Gamma engine received an aluminum block with thin-walled cast iron liners poured into it. It would seem that this is the very technology that should make it possible over time to carry out capital work - to bore a cast-iron liner to the repair size, install a repair kit of pistons and rings of larger diameter, and wind on for kilometers further with the repaired block.
Engine problems on Hyundai Solaris
The problem is that the thickness of the liner wall does not allow boring, the liner is almost impossible to remove from the block and replace (it is filled with aluminum at the production stage), and Hyundai did not provide for the possibility of producing repair spare parts, rings and pistons.
Ideally, each cylinder block with wet liners (surrounded by a water jacket) has the ability to replace the liner, while the Gamma engine has dry liners, that is, tightly fixed in the block.
Repair “in theory”
Already bored cylinders for liners.
Theoretically, replacing liners in our engines is possible , there are car services that undertake this, it’s all about the price. After all, you can buy a new cylinder block and it will cost an amount comparable to buying a quarter of a used Solaris.
The question arises about the advisability of buying Solaris on the secondary market - in any case, sooner or later the cylinders will wear out and then the engine will again suffer from capital.
Ecological fuel class
Hyundai Solaris which gasoline will depend on the content of substances in it that are harmful to the environment. Gasoline also contains impurities, which can be used to determine the environmental class of the fuel. Even in the European Union, a unique and first-of-its-kind EURO classification was developed (in 1990). According to this classification, standard indicators for the content of sulfur, hydrocarbons, nitrogen, and other substances of a harmful nature in fuel have been established. It is surprising that the requirements for this classification are constantly being tightened, and after this the content of harmful substances is decreasing and decreasing.

Sulfur content in gasoline combustion products according to EURO specifications
At the moment, the Solaris fuel pump is slightly capricious in terms of eco-class fuel. The highest marking now is EURO-6, adopted by the European Union on September 1, 2015. In the case of Russia, everything is different, since EURO-5 is in demand in our homeland, although the only fuel company decided to use EURO-6 only this year.
Hyundai Solaris fuel consumption depends on the equipment of the internal combustion engine, which complies with the EURO-4 standard, and new modifications from 2016 must comply with the generally accepted Russian standard. The fuel consumption of the Hyundai Solaris can be checked with the dealer, or refer to the user manual. To be frank, gasoline of different eco-standards will not in any way affect the dynamic characteristics, operation or service life of the car.
What kind of gasoline should I fill Hyundai Solaris with? In this matter, only the quality of the fuel plays a big role, which Russia cannot particularly boast of. Therefore, the advice for owners of the Korean automobile industry is as follows: Dear ones, refuel only at branded gas stations and avoid any dubious refueling places that you either have not seen before or are presented in a single sample.
Solaris what gasoline to fill
What does the engine compression ratio say?
The dependence of the octane number of gasoline on the compression ratio is known to everyone - the higher the compression ratio, the higher the octane number should be.
If you pour low-octane gasoline into a forced engine, it will simply detonate and explode uncontrollably, only from pressure, and not from a spark.
In Hyundai Solaris with 1.4 and 1.6 liter Gamma engines, the compression ratio is 10.5 units. This is a fairly large value, so the use of 92-octane gasoline may lead to the formation of soot and detonation.
Types of gasoline
Based on the octane number, there is the following classification of gasoline:
- 80 is normal.
- 91 – regular.
- 95 – premium.
- 98 – super.
So, let's go through each element from the list separately! The Normal is actively used in trucks, while the Regular replaced the outdated A-93. The last two brands are respectively suitable for the engines of modern cars, and accordingly, what gasoline to fill under the Hyundai Solaris. Premium/super version, designed for the modern line of Hyundai engines.

What does the manufacturer say: what kind of gasoline should I fill in the Hyundai Solaris?
When solving this issue, you can take the path of least resistance and simply read the manual, which, translated from Korean, says that Hyundai Solaris with 1.4 and 1.6 liter engines requires refueling with gasoline with an octane rating of at least 92 . Not less.
Not lower than 92 says the inscription on the gas tank flap.
That’s great, it means you can save on the price of fuel and safely use 92nd. The issue is resolved. But is it all that simple, and what determines whether the brand of gasoline matches the engine?
Of course, mere mortals do not need to know this, but it is very advisable to extend the life of your engine. Choosing the octane number of fuel is not as simple as it seems, and it’s not all about the price. Of great importance is the quality of gasoline , which is completely different at different gas stations.
Large chain gas stations have their own oil refineries and are interested in ensuring that their fuel is of high quality. Small single gas stations around the corner can afford to add and underfill, although each of them will definitely have a certificate of quality. several exclusively technical points still . Here are just a few of them.
Which gasoline is better for Solaris: 92, 95 or 98?
What if you fill it with 98?
Each brand of gasoline differs from each other not only in price, but also in the number of additives and octane number.
And the octane number affects the engine’s resistance to detonation, that is, the higher the octane number, the more it can be compressed and it will not explode like diesel fuel, but will light up only at a strictly defined moment, when the electronics supply a spark to the spark plug.
- Hyundai Solaris, when using 92-octane gasoline recommended by the factory, spends 10-11 liters per 100 km.
- If you fill up with 95, fuel consumption will decrease by about one liter.
92 or 95 - few numbers
Specific heat of combustion.
The explanation for this is quite simple. In order to obtain the energy necessary to move the piston, you need to burn a certain amount of fuel. The energy from combustion of 92-grade gasoline is approximately 42 MJ, 95-grade gasoline shows about 45 MJ. At the same time, there is a danger of detonation with 92 gasoline. It turns out that to obtain the required energy, low-octane gasoline is consumed more than high-octane gasoline. The number may be insignificant, but it is a fact.
