How many keys does a new car usually come with?

New cars usually come with two keys. Below is relevant information about vehicle keys: Functions of car keys: Vehicle locating function, closing windows after turning off the engine, opening windows, opening the trunk, and unlocking only the driver's door. Vehicle key maintenance methods: Do not place them with metal objects, do not keep spare keys in the car, do not place smart keys with electronic devices, and avoid exposing keys to high temperatures or liquids. Methods for replacing vehicle key batteries: Remove the mechanical key, use a hard metal piece to twist open the key along the groove, then remove the old battery and replace it with a new one.
I remember last year when I bought my first brand-new car, the salesperson gave me two keys—one primary key for daily use and another spare key that I stashed in a drawer at home. Normally, I carry the primary key with me while the spare key has hardly been touched. But one rainy day, I accidentally dropped the primary key into a gutter. Sweating with panic, I rushed home to retrieve the spare key, which saved the day. New cars come with two keys as standard manufacturer configuration, designed precisely to prevent emergencies and avoid stranding owners due to lost or damaged keys. If a key is truly lost, replacement can be costly—especially with modern smart key systems, where you might lose hundreds or even thousands of yuan. My friend’s luxury-brand car also came with just two smart keys, no extras. In summary, two keys are sufficient—just store the backup carefully and don’t get careless.
