Is 2000 RPM at 70 km/h Normal for a Car?

This is a relatively normal engine speed. When cruising at high speeds, the car should use the highest forward gear to reduce engine RPM and improve fuel economy. If driving a manual transmission car, the gear should match the engine speed and driving speed for optimal comfort and fuel efficiency. During high-speed cruising, always use the highest forward gear. When overtaking, downshift in advance to increase engine RPM, which boosts wheel torque for quicker acceleration. When downshifting a manual transmission car, use the rev-matching technique to avoid significant jerking after gear changes. For every gear shift, fully depress the clutch pedal quickly to ensure smooth gear engagement. Manual cars also require clutch operation during starting, using the clutch slip technique. During startup, if the RPM difference between the engine flywheel and clutch disc is too large, sudden full clutch engagement may stall the engine. The clutch slip technique gradually reduces this RPM difference, enabling smooth vehicle starts. When using the clutch slip method, strictly control the duration. Prolonged partial clutch engagement can cause clutch disc burnout.
