What is the curb weight of a regular Santana?
1 Answers
Specific models vary, and the overall vehicle weight differs accordingly. The 1.5L manual Fengshang version and the 1.5L manual Comfort version have a curb weight of 1,120 kg; the 1.5L automatic Fengshang version and the 1.5L automatic Comfort version have a curb weight of 1,155 kg. General vehicle weight ranges: Typical family cars weigh between 1.2 to 1.3 tons, mid-to-high-end cars range from 1.4 to 1.6 tons, while heavier models can be between 1.8 to 2.0 tons. Excessive vehicle weight can lead to higher fuel consumption, poorer handling, slower acceleration, and increased braking distance. Methods to reduce vehicle weight: Using lighter materials such as aluminum alloy and carbon fiber; optimizing structural design to minimize excess material usage while ensuring structural rigidity, thereby reducing weight and saving costs.
