What is the general speed of a car in kilometers per hour?

Generally, the speed of a car is around 60KM/H, but it varies significantly depending on the vehicle model. Below are the specific details about the maximum speed regulations: 1. Concept: The maximum speed refers to the highest speed a car can achieve on a level and well-paved road. The last 500 meters of a 1.6-kilometer test section are used as the testing area for maximum speed, with four round trips conducted to obtain an average value. 2. Speed Limitation: For some high-performance cars, manufacturers often use technical means (such as electronic speed limit functions) to restrict the vehicle's maximum speed to protect the engine or comply with traffic regulations. For example, the Mercedes-Benz S600, when the electronic speed limit is removed, can exceed the restricted speed of 250km/h and reach 300km/h or even higher.
There's no universal standard for daily driving speed—it depends on road and vehicle conditions. In city traffic jams, speeds may drop to 20-30 km/h, even slower during rush hours. On clear roads, you can reach 40-50 km/h. On highways, speed limits typically range from 110 to 120 km/h, though my average cruising speed is around 60 km/h. Vehicle type matters too—SUVs maintain stability at 90 km/h, while sports cars might occasionally hit 150 km/h, though speeding isn’t advised. Weather plays a big role; in rain or snow, slowing to 40 km/h is safer. Generally, speeds fluctuate between 50 and 100 km/h—safety first. Regular maintenance improves handling. Remember, avoid impulsive speeding—road hazards are unpredictable.
As a commuter, my daily driving experience tells me: during morning and evening rush hours, the average speed is just 30 km/h, and the stop-and-go traffic is really annoying; on main roads, it's a bit faster, reaching around 60 km/h. On highways, I can accelerate to the speed limit of 120 km/h, but the average speed for weekend trips is about 80 km/h. When traffic is light, I can reach 100 km/h, but I prefer to maintain a safe speed of 90 km/h. Fuel efficiency is also a consideration—driving too slow wastes fuel, while driving too fast is dangerous, so a moderate speed is best. In areas with many traffic lights, the speed drops below 40 km/h. Overall, on regular days, driving between 50 and 70 km/h is normal, saving time and ensuring stability. Over time, I've figured out the patterns to avoid being late.
