Can a new car use S gear?

[VonNorah]

New cars should not use S gear. Below is a related introduction to the S gear in cars: Definition: In S gear (Sport mode), the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer period. This allows the car to operate at lower gears with higher RPM for extended durations, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. Advantages: Using S gear also has benefits for the vehicle. For cars frequently driven in congested urban areas, engine carbon buildup can be significant. Therefore, periodically using S gear appropriately helps remove carbon deposits from the engine, improves fuel economy, and extends engine lifespan.

Of course, it's totally fine to use the S gear in a new car. The S gear stands for Sport mode. I've driven many new cars, and it's designed to make driving more exhilarating. When engaged, the engine revs higher, and gear shifts are delayed, so you get a more aggressive acceleration feel, which is great for overtaking. However, with a new car, especially during the break-in period, you should use it moderately. The engine isn't fully seasoned yet, and if you frequently floor the accelerator, it might increase wear and tear, and fuel consumption could go up by about 10%. I recommend driving in D gear normally for the first 1,000 kilometers to get familiar with the car's performance before trying the S gear. It's quite safe to use on highways or mountain roads, but avoid it in congested city traffic to save fuel. After all, this feature in a new car is meant for fun—occasional use can really spice up your driving experience.
