What is the maximum speed during the break-in period of the Tayron?

The maximum speed during the break-in period of the Tayron is 100 kilometers per hour, and the break-in period is 3,000 kilometers. Here are some precautions for cars during the break-in period: 1. Try to avoid full load during the break-in period: Overloading can cause heavy steering, increased centrifugal force, and affect the car's handling performance. Long-term overloading will shorten the car's service life and accelerate the aging of parts. It is best not to exceed 70% of the rated load. 2. Reduce sudden braking or sudden acceleration: If encountering any situation while driving, decelerate in advance. Emergency braking causes significant wear on the car and also endangers personal safety. 3. Do not let the engine speed get too high, and keep the wheel speed below 3,000 RPM: During the break-in period, excessively high engine speeds increase the possibility of damaging the piston rings. Whether it's a manual or automatic transmission car, follow the normal shifting requirements or automatic speed switching points. The engine speed should be around 2,500 RPM in this speed range, and should not exceed 3,000 RPM. 4. Avoid driving continuously for long periods.
When driving my new Tayron, I paid special attention to the speed during the break-in period, as the engine components were still bedding in within the first 2,000 kilometers. The manual recommends maintaining an ideal speed between 80 to 100 kilometers per hour, so I kept it under 90 km/h on highways. Shortly after getting the car, I accidentally hit 110 km/h on the highway once, and the car felt slightly shaky. After slowing back down to around 80 km/h, it became much smoother. I also avoided sudden acceleration, taking it slow when starting and shifting gears to allow the engine parts to bed in better. Combined with regular oil changes, the car's power became noticeably smoother after the break-in period, with no fluctuations in fuel consumption. In short, taking it easy and giving the car a gentle break-in period benefits long-term performance.
From an automotive engineer's perspective, the run-in period speed is designed to protect the engine. The Tayron is a Volkswagen SUV, and its engine components, such as pistons and cylinder liners, still have larger gaps during initial operation. Driving too fast, exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, increases friction and thermal load. I often remind people to maintain a speed range of 80-90 kilometers per hour for the first 1,600 kilometers, while also monitoring the RPM to not exceed 2,500. Besides speed, it's also important to pay attention to smooth gear shifting and load management, avoiding full-load high-speed long-distance runs. Good habits also include timely first maintenance and checking if the oil pressure is normal. Proper run-in can improve engine efficiency and lifespan—don't forget that the new car manual includes these instructions.
As a novice, I bought a Tayron, and my friend told me that during the break-in period, I shouldn't drive too fast. I checked the manual, which stated it's best to keep the speed below 90 kilometers per hour. When driving on the highway, I always remind myself not to exceed the speed limit, maintaining a steady speed around 80. I also avoid sudden acceleration, otherwise, the engine makes noise. I learned that this allows the parts to gradually adapt, making the car more reliable after the break-in. Simply put, driving slower has great benefits.
