I agree that cars are very heavy now, though, usually there are few 'types' of car weight. I do not know which where is used.

Usually there are 2 weights: unladen weight and maximum weight. I've heard about some third weight which is between the unladen and maximum weights, something like a car's weight with full tank and a driver, but don't quote me on this.

Probably you have the maximum weight listed. My Skoda Fabia (Audi Q3 equivalent) has maximum weight of 1680kg and unladen weight of 1200kg. I refuse to believe that VW Up is heavier than the Skoda Fabia.

AFAIK, minivans have quite big weight on their papers, but empty minivan can't weigh 3000kg, which is only possible if it's loaded.



He's probably talking about a hybrid e-Up. which is around 1200 kg because of the battery and electric motor tech, The normal Up Weighs around 850 kg.
