Is it okay to start the X-Trail at 2000 RPM?

[LeAbel]

It is more appropriate to start the X-Trail below 2000 RPM. Once the engine reaches stable operating conditions, the RPM will drop to around 800. Generally, the engine speed can reach 1200-1500 RPM at the moment of startup. In colder seasons, the RPM may be even higher because too low RPM could cause the vehicle to stall, while slightly higher RPM helps warm up the engine faster. Below are some relevant details: 1. It is normal for the starting RPM to be slightly higher. For most family cars, the starting RPM is around 1000-1500, varying by model. Many manufacturers intentionally set a higher starting RPM to ensure sufficient power after shifting gears. 2. Many drivers focus on speed, especially with the increasing popularity of automatic transmissions where gear shifts are controlled by the engine. Apart from monitoring fuel consumption and speed, RPM may seem less important. However, RPM constantly reflects the engine's working condition. If the RPM is too low, fuel may not burn completely in the cylinders, leading to carbon buildup, which can cause significant engine damage over time. Conversely, excessively high RPM can also result in greater engine wear.
