What is the general weight of a car in tons?

[MacMaria]

A small car weighs 1.5 tons, generally household cars are between 1.2 tons and 1.3 tons, mid-to-high-end cars are around 1.4 tons to 1.6 tons, and heavier ones range between 1.8 tons and 2.0 tons. Excessive vehicle weight can lead to higher fuel consumption, poorer handling, slower acceleration, and increased braking distance. Methods to reduce car weight: 1. Materials: Use lighter materials such as aluminum alloy and carbon fiber. Nowadays, to reduce weight, cars mainly use aluminum alloy, with only some expensive sedans or sports cars extensively using carbon fiber. 2. Design: Optimize structural design to reduce the use of excess materials while ensuring structural rigidity, thereby saving weight and costs. 3. Usage: Avoid placing too many miscellaneous items in the trunk, as this not only occupies space and causes inconvenience when needing to store luggage but also adds extra weight to the car, increasing fuel consumption.
