2 Answers
The weight of the Volkswagen Bora is 1315kg. Its body dimensions are: length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1462mm, with a wheelbase of 2668mm, minimum ground clearance of 126mm, trunk capacity of 506 liters, and fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The Volkswagen Bora is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan equipped with a 1.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 113PS and a maximum power of 83kW. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, featuring a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I recently helped a friend choose a car and test drove several different model years of the Volkswagen Bora. I found that the vehicle weight typically ranges between 1.3 to 1.4 tons, depending on the configuration. For example, the base model might weigh less than 1.3 tons, while the top trim with a sunroof would be slightly heavier. The extra weight makes the car more stable at high speeds and reduces wind noise, but it also increases fuel consumption. For daily city driving, the average fuel consumption is around 8 liters per 100 kilometers. I also compared it with Japanese cars in the same segment, and the Bora's weight provides good comfort with minimal body roll during turns. When buying a car, I suggest considering family needs. If you frequently drive long distances, a heavier car offers more reliable safety, and maintenance is relatively straightforward with fewer minor issues.
