How much aluminum in a car?

The amount of aluminum in a car varies greatly depending on the make, model, year, and whether it's designed as an aluminum-intensive vehicle (like some high-end models or electric vehicles). There's no single answer.

However, a modern car might use anywhere from 50 to 300 pounds (23 to 136 kilograms) of aluminum. Cars with extensive aluminum body panels, chassis components, or engine parts will be at the higher end of this range. A car with primarily steel construction will be at the lower end.
