How long is the break-in period for the Tayron?

Tayron break-in period: 1. The initial break-in mileage is generally below 500 kilometers, with the optimal speed maintained between 60-70 km/h and engine RPM not exceeding 2200; 2. From 500 to 1000 kilometers is the mid-term break-in phase, where speed can be increased from 60-70 km/h to 90-100 km/h, with engine RPM kept below 2500 for optimal performance; 3. From 1000 to 1500 kilometers is the late break-in phase, where speed can be increased to below 120 km/h. The vehicle break-in period refers to the initial driving distance after a new car leaves the factory, during which the engine components gradually wear in smoothly. During the break-in period, when braking, it's recommended to first depress the clutch pedal to disengage gear engagement before applying the brake pedal, which can reduce impact damage to the new car's engine, braking system, and chassis.
I bought the Tayron SUV last year, and the break-in period is generally around 1,500 kilometers, which is equivalent to a few long-distance trips. I remember when I first picked up the car, the sales guy specifically told me not to drive on the highway for the first 300 kilometers and not to exceed 100 km/h before 800 kilometers, otherwise the engine might wear out faster. Later, I checked the manual myself and learned that the break-in period is mainly to allow internal components like piston rings and cylinder walls to gradually adapt, avoiding overheating or deformation caused by aggressive driving. I usually drive smoothly in D mode, occasionally switching to S mode on uphill roads but keeping the RPM under 4,000. After the break-in period, I went for the first maintenance, and the car felt smoother in terms of power. I recommend paying attention to fuel consumption changes during the break-in period—if it's too high, it might be due to driving habits. Don’t delay the break-in process for too long, as it can affect overall performance.
As someone who frequently interacts with various car models, I understand that the break-in period for the Tayron is typically between 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers, depending on the owner's manual specifications. The purpose of this phase is to allow the engine, transmission, and braking system to properly break in, reducing friction issues between components. While driving, it's best to maintain a gentle approach: a steady speed of 60-80 km/h is ideal, avoiding sudden acceleration and hard braking, especially avoiding high-speed driving immediately after a cold start. During the break-in period, oil circulation isn't optimal, and aggressive driving can harm bearings. It's recommended to check tire pressure and oil condition every 500 kilometers to ensure everything is functioning properly. Additionally, don't overlook the adaptation period for tires and other small components.
