Guys,
Would like to discuss on car weight, why recently all the new car build with heavy weight
even though just loaded with 1.6 engine?
example:
Proton Gen 2 = 1230kg
Kia forte = 1260kg
Peugeot 308 (1.6 NA ) = 12xx kg
What is the reason to lead all the car mfgs go to heavy weight car?
Understand that heavy weight chasis able to provide high speed stability.
However, peformance for power to weight ratio, pick up and fuel consumption might reduce as well.
