The information I have indicates this vehicle can run on 91 Octane fuel.

Is there any benefit from using 95 Octane for this car?

Tests by the AA show there is no advantage in using a higher octane than required. There is a slight fuel economy gain, but this is more than offset by the higher cost of premium fuel (we didn't measure performance though). You can read our test results here:
