Is there a break-in period for new cars and what is the maximum speed they can reach?

[LeElaina]

New cars do have a break-in period, and the maximum speed they can reach mainly depends on the type of vehicle. For domestic cars, a speed of 40-70 km/h is recommended; for imported cars, a speed of around 100 km/h is generally ideal. Definition of the break-in period: The break-in period generally refers to the process where mechanical components initially come into contact, rub against each other, and mesh together during early operation. Precautions during the break-in period: Avoid emergency braking whenever possible: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. Avoid overloading: If a new car is driven at full capacity during the break-in period, it can cause damage to the components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers of driving, the load should generally not exceed 75-80% of the rated capacity.
