Generally, household cars weigh between 1.2t and 1.3t, mid-to-high-end cars weigh around 1.4t to 1.6t, and heavier ones weigh between 1.8t and 2.0t. Here is some related content: 1. Sedan: A sedan is a vague general term, referring to smaller cars with roofs or convertibles. According to the latest national standard in China, 'Terms and Definitions of Types of Automobiles and Trailers,' an automobile is defined as a non-track vehicle powered by a motor with four or more wheels, mainly used for: transporting people and/or goods; towing vehicles that transport people and/or goods; and special purposes. 2. Domestic car brands include: Hongqi, Changan, Great Wall, Chery, Geely, Roewe, etc. Foreign car brands include: Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Kia, Peugeot, etc.
I've been driving for many years, and the weight of a sedan generally ranges between one to two tons. For example, a standard sedan like the Volkswagen Sagitar weighs around 1,300 kilograms, while a five-seat SUV is heavier, possibly exceeding 1,800 kilograms. Lighter cars are more fuel-efficient and easier to park, but they can feel a bit unstable when taking curves at high speeds. Heavier cars offer higher safety ratings, especially providing better cushioning in collisions, though they consume more fuel. When choosing a car, consider your needs: compact cars are lightweight and economical for city driving, while heavier vehicles offer more peace of mind for long trips or families with children. Regularly check how the car's weight affects tire wear and suspension—don’t overlook this detail, as it directly impacts driving experience and safety.
