The heavier a car is, the harder the engine (or electric motors) need to work to move it, so heavier cars tend to have poorer fuel economy and worse range. Heavier cars also handle differently, with a lot of it’s weight being felt when you’re going through corners at speed. Lighter cars can go quicker and are nimbler; there’s a reason Lotus founder, Colin Chapman’s philosophy was, “Simplify, then add lightness.” Still, some people prefer a car that feels a little more weighted – what about you?
