What is the body weight of the Lavida?
2 Answers
The body weight of the Lavida is 1210kg, which is a compact car produced by Shanghai Volkswagen. Taking the 2019 Lavida as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4613mm, width 1765mm, height 1460mm, with a wheelbase of 2610mm and a fuel tank capacity of 52.8 liters. The 2019 Lavida features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 112PS, a maximum power of 82kW, and a maximum torque of 145Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
That day, I helped a friend inspect the Lavida and specifically checked the manual. There are indeed significant differences between different configurations. The curb weight ranges from 1.2 tons to just over 1.3 tons, mainly due to variations in engine models and whether it comes with a sunroof. For example, the 1.5L manual version weighs around 1220 kg, while opting for the 1.4T automatic with a panoramic sunroof pushes the weight up to 1318 kg. In real-world driving, you'll notice that for every additional 50 kg in vehicle weight, fuel consumption increases by at least 0.3 liters per 100 km. By the way, a quick reminder: if you see the same model with a weight difference of over 30 kg, it's best to check if the wheels have been modified or if an additional battery has been installed.
