Can a new car not exceed 100 mph?

New cars can exceed 100 mph, but it is recommended to avoid high speeds during the break-in period. Please refer to the vehicle's user manual for specific instructions regarding the break-in period. Below is an introduction to the car break-in period: Introduction: The most important aspect of a car's break-in period is limiting the engine's RPM. During this period, excessively high engine RPM can increase the risk of damaging the piston rings. New car break-in period speed: Generally, the break-in period is divided into three stages: initial, middle, and late. During the break-in period, it is advisable to maintain a moderate speed—neither too high nor too low, as low speed can increase fuel consumption. In the initial stage, the maximum speed should generally be controlled around 40 km/h; in the middle stage, under good road conditions, the maximum speed can be increased to 60 km/h; in the late stage, it can be raised to around 80 km/h.
I just bought a new car and I'm excited to test its speed. The new car can easily exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and my car effortlessly reaches 120 on the highway. However, the salesperson at the 4S store specifically advised that during the break-in period of the first 1,500 kilometers, it's best not to exceed 100 to avoid excessive wear on internal engine components. I obediently followed this advice, keeping my speed between 80-100 when driving in urban and suburban areas, and noticed the engine runs more smoothly with lower fuel consumption. After the break-in period, I had more freedom, but safety comes first—no reckless speeding. Properly maintaining a new car can extend its lifespan by several years, saving on high repair costs. Remember, this advice isn't a limitation of the car itself but a protective measure—don't misunderstand it.
