What is the maximum speed in 1st gear?
1 Answers
Normally, the maximum speed in 1st gear can reach 45km/h, which is related to the engine displacement and tuning. Taking a 1.6L manual transmission car as an example, when the engine reaches the maximum speed of 6000r/min, the 1st gear can reach 45km/h, the 2nd gear can reach a maximum speed of 81km/h, the 3rd gear can reach a maximum speed of 133km/h, the 4th gear can reach 183km/h, and the 5th gear can reach a speed of 230km/h. The engine speed, gear, and vehicle speed should be matched. When the speed matches the gear, the vehicle's performance is at its best, and the thermal efficiency of the fuel is the highest. If the speed does not match the gear, such as high speed with low gear or low speed with high gear, it will not only increase fuel consumption but also cause damage to the engine and transmission, resulting in irreversible damage to the vehicle. Therefore, the gear and speed must be matched during driving. The 1st gear is used for normal starting, and the speed is generally around 10km/h. The 2nd gear is a transitional gear for acceleration after starting or for low-speed driving, with a speed generally around 20km/h. The 3rd gear is used for speeds between 20-40km/h and is commonly used for city driving. The 4th gear can be used for speeds between 40-60km/h. The 5th gear is used for speeds above 60km/h.
