2 Answers
The weight of the Lavida PLUS is 1.3 tons for the 1.4T model and 1.25 tons for the 1.5L model. Introduction to Lavida: In 2018, the Volkswagen Lavida was based on the Volkswagen MQB platform. Compared to the 2017 Lavida model, the new car underwent a comprehensive upgrade, hence officially named Lavida PLUS. The exterior was the most noticeable upgrade in the 2018 Lavida. The new car's length, width, and height are 4670/1806/1474mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. Powertrain: The new generation Lavida is equipped with two powertrains: 1.5L/1.4T. The maximum power is 85/110kW, with peak torque of 150/250Nm. In terms of transmission, the new car is equipped with a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The exterior of the new car adopts Volkswagen's latest family design, identical in appearance to the new Volkswagen CC, 2018 Passat, and 2019 Sagitar.
The curb weight of the Lavida Plus is approximately 1,300 to 1,400 kilograms, depending on the configuration you choose. For example, the base 1.5L model weighs around 1,310 kg, while the top-end 1.4T version can reach up to 1,380 kg. I've been driving mine for almost two years now. When I first bought the car, I compared the specs—lighter weight does indeed save fuel. With my daily commute stuck in traffic, the average fuel consumption is about 7.5 liters per 100 km, which is quite economical. However, a car that's too light can feel unstable at high speeds. The Lavida's weight strikes a good balance, offering solid handling and stability. In terms of space, even with a full backseat, the weight isn't significantly affected. The body uses high-strength steel, ensuring both safety and lightweight construction. I’d advise buyers not to focus solely on the numbers—driving comfort is more important. During maintenance, the technician mentioned that weight affects suspension wear, so regular checks are necessary. When choosing a model, consider your daily driving conditions: opt for lighter weight for city driving and a heavier build if you frequently drive on highways.
