Do the Kia Grand Carnival’s engine specifications meet local fuel quality standards?

The Grand Carnival often features a 3.5 L MPi V6 engine. Does this engine require high-octane o r premium petrol, o r can it run efficiently on common Pakistani fuel standards like 87–92 RON? Are knock sensors o r early ignition issues common due to local fuel quality?

The Grand Carnival is equipped with a 3.5L V6 MPI engine, producing 268 hp and 332 Nm of torque. This engine is designed to run on high-octane petrol, typically 92 RON o r higher. In Pakistan, fuel quality can vary, and lower octane ratings may lead to engine knocking, reduced efficiency, and potential long-term damage. Its recommended to use premium quality fuel from reputable stations and consider using fuel additives to enhance performance and protect the engine.
