- mschuster91 3y agoHere in Germany, a 3-series BMW is the standard middle class sedan. Certainly less weight than most SUVs.
- vladvasiliu 3y agoUnder a ton?! Do you mean under 1000 kg? How do you figure? The Dacia Sandero, one of the smallest cars I can think of here in France, that's also supposed to be cheap so doesn't have a lot of... anything, has a curb weight of 1,025–1,204 kg (2,260–2,654 lb) according to wikipedia [0]. The previous generation Renault Clio, which is a small city car, weighed around 1000 kg, too (980 at the lowest). [1]. Wikipedia doesn't have data for the current generation, which is somewhat bigger physically. --- [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacia_Sandero https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacia_Sandero [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Clio#Fourth_generation_(BH/KH;_2012) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Clio#Fourth_generation...
- dontlaugh 3y agoOur country’s Sandero is actually a bit big for the B segment. The Polo, Corsa and Fiesta are all a bit smaller and lighter, at least the previous generation. You’re right about the current generation, though. Not that many on the streets, but they generally are a bit over a ton. At least the popular A segment cars like the Aygo, Up or 500 still tend to be under a ton. Sadly even heavier cars are becoming more popular, so in the future a ton will be far from the median.
