2 Answers
The weight of the Volkswagen Lavida varies from 1210-1290kg depending on the engine displacement. Below is an introduction to the Lavida: 1. As a new car tailor-made for Chinese consumers, the LAVIDA Lavida not only maintains the excellent quality of German design but also incorporates many aesthetic concepts reflecting traditional Chinese culture and cutting-edge design elements. 2. Produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, the Lavida embodies a new design DNA—fusion, while continuing the dynamic and stylish design language of the A-segment car market. 3. With its forward-looking design language, the Lavida injects more luxury and grandeur into the A-segment car market, rewriting consumers' traditional impressions of this segment and thus meeting more localized consumer demands. 4. The currently available Lavida models come with 1.6 and 2.0 engine displacements.
I remember when driving the Volkswagen Lavida, the car's weight was around 1,280 kilograms, with variations depending on the configuration. For example, the base manual transmission model could be as light as 1,250 kg, while the top automatic transmission version might weigh up to 1,350 kg. This weight gives the car a solid feel on the road, and it doesn’t get pushed around by crosswinds on the highway, providing a strong sense of security. In terms of fuel consumption, my car averages about 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving, which is acceptable. Lighter cars save fuel but feel less stable, while heavier ones consume more. The Lavida strikes a good balance, making it suitable for daily commutes and family trips. When I bought the car, I checked the data—models from 2020 onwards have optimized weight distribution for smoother handling. Replacing parts hasn’t been a major issue either. The only downside is that it’s a bit slow off the line, but you get used to it over time. Overall, weights between 1,250 and 1,350 kg are common, so I recommend checking the official manual before making a choice.
