How much does the Mercedes-Benz S350 weigh?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz S350 weighs 3.8 tons. Vehicle weight classification: A small car weighs 1.5 tons, general family cars are between 1.2 to 1.3 tons, mid-to-high-end cars are around 1.4 to 1.6 tons, and heavier ones range from 1.8 to 2.0 tons. Impact of vehicle weight: Different weights require greater force to achieve the same speed, naturally resulting in higher fuel consumption. The greater the weight, the larger the inertia, leading to longer braking distances and reduced safety. If the vehicle body is too heavy, high-speed cornering can easily cause understeer (pushing). Of course, lighter isn't always better either - being too light can lead to oversteer.
