How much do you think a car weighs?

The weight of a car can vary significantly depending on several factors, including its size, make, model, and features. On average, however, most passenger cars (sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs, etc.) weigh between 2,000 and 4,000 pounds (907 and 1,814 kilograms).

Smaller vehicles, such as compact cars and subcompacts, typically weigh less, ranging from around 2,000 to 2,800 pounds (907 to 1,270 kilograms). Mid-size sedans and SUVs usually fall between 3,000 and 3,500 pounds (1,361 and 1,588 kilograms). Larger vehicles, such as full-size sedans, luxury cars, and heavy-duty SUVs, can weigh upwards of 4,000 pounds (1,814 kilograms).

It's worth noting that these are just general ranges, and the actual weight of a specific car can vary based on its configuration, optional equipment, and additional features installed. Some high-performance sports cars and luxury vehicles can even exceed 5,000 pounds (2,268 kilograms).

If you're interested in knowing the exact weight of a particular car model, you can refer to its manufacturer specifications or look up its curb weight, which is the weight of the vehicle with all its standard equipment but without passengers or cargo.
