Volkswagen models vary, and the weight and quality of the cars are different. Generally, family economy sedans with engine displacements ranging from 1.1 to 1.6L have a total vehicle weight of approximately 1.1 to 1.4 tons. Mid-to-high-end cars with engine displacements from 1.8 to 4.0 have a total vehicle weight of about 1.8 to 3.5 tons. Additional information: 1. Passenger cars: Passenger cars are primarily designed and technically characterized for transporting passengers and their personal luggage or temporary items, including the driver's seat. Passenger cars have a maximum of 9 seats. Passenger cars are divided into the following 11 types: standard passenger cars, convertible passenger cars, luxury passenger cars, compact passenger cars, roadsters, hatchback passenger cars, station wagons, multi-purpose passenger cars, forward-control passenger cars, off-road passenger cars, and special-purpose passenger cars. 2. Commercial vehicles: Commercial vehicles are designed and technically characterized for transporting people and goods and can tow trailers, but passenger cars are not included. Main types include: buses, semi-trailer tractors, and trucks.
Speaking of the weight of Volkswagen cars, as a veteran driver with over a decade of experience behind the wheel of Volkswagens, I can share some insights. Volkswagen offers a wide range of models, and their weights vary significantly. Take the classic Golf, for example—the one I drove weighed around 1,300 kilograms. It’s lightweight and nimble, making city driving effortless and parking a breeze. Mid-to-large-sized models like the Passat are much heavier, tipping the scales at over 1,500 kilograms. They offer a stable ride, even at high speeds on the highway. SUVs such as the Tiguan are even heavier; I’ve tried an older model that weighed close to 1,700 kilograms, which handled cargo and passengers with ease. Weight impacts fuel consumption—heavier cars tend to consume more on long trips, but they also offer better safety. When buying a car, I always consider the model’s size first. A compact family might find the Golf perfect, while larger families may prefer the Passat. Don’t forget regular maintenance—lighter cars make tire changes easier, too. In short, choose a car based on your daily needs, not just its looks.
