What is the weight of the Geely GS body?
1 Answers
Geely GS body weight ranges between 1320 kg to 1398 kg depending on configuration. Introduction to vehicle weight: A heavier vehicle provides better driving stability, especially during sharp turns and emergency braking. Additionally, it offers greater structural integrity during collisions with less deformation, resulting in relatively higher safety. Lighter vehicles tend to have relatively poorer driving stability, particularly noticeable in curves and at high speeds where they may feel floaty. In collisions, lighter vehicles are generally more fragile (excluding high-end body materials like carbon fiber), with more severe steel plate deformation, though they do offer better fuel efficiency. Higher curb weight leads to increased fuel consumption: Curb weight is a significant parameter affecting a vehicle's fuel consumption. There's a proportional relationship between fuel consumption and curb weight—the heavier the vehicle, the higher the fuel consumption. For instance, in a compact car, every 40 kg increase in curb weight leads to approximately 1% more fuel consumption.
