Difference: 1,560-1,365 = 195 kg.
So about two washing machines in difference... :) And that's by giving you credit by comparing the heaviest average within the same car class. The lightest one yields a three washing machine diff.

- heresie-dabord 5y agoI think we differ in our perception of "small" and "mid-size" car. But even so, 195 kg is the weight of a driver and passenger. If we consider this to be a decisive factor in pollution, we had better also consider the obesity epidemic as a factor in tire wear. ^_^
- kebman 5y agoExcuse me, "perception"? I used an industry standard, pal.
- heresie-dabord 5y agoOne possible explanation is that I live in a different market. In any case, the weight comparisons are the real data to use. The Nissan LEAF is heavier than some cars, but much lighter than the most popular ICE-V choices being made by consumers.
