How long is the running-in period for the Tayron?
2 Answers
The running-in period for the Tayron is 3,000 kilometers. During this period, avoid full load and minimize sudden braking or rapid acceleration. Taking the 2020 Tayron as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category with the following dimensions: length 4589mm, width 18460mm, height 1660mm, wheelbase 2731mm, fuel tank capacity 60 liters, and trunk capacity 506 liters. The 2020 Tayron is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, and maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
When I first got my Volkswagen Tayron, the break-in period took about 1,500 kilometers. It's recommended not to drive too aggressively during the first month and to avoid prolonged high-speed driving or sudden acceleration, so the engine components can properly break in. I drove it daily for my commute, keeping the RPM under 3,000, and felt the car ran smoother. After the friction between parts decreased, the fuel consumption also dropped a bit. For a new car, getting the first maintenance after the break-in period is reassuring and can extend the engine's lifespan. Remember, avoid hauling heavy loads or climbing steep hills early on, as initial damage can be hard to repair. Looking back now after driving it for a while, that break-in period might have seemed uneventful, but it really saved me a lot of trouble in the following years. This is a common practice among car owners in the community.
