How much does a 92 Toyota MR2 weigh?

A 1992 Toyota MR2 weighs roughly 2,700 to 3,000 pounds, depending on trim and equipment.


In a bit more detail, the MR2's weight varies by whether it's naturally aspirated (NA) or turbocharged (Turbo), and by market-specific equipment such as airbags and air conditioning. The SW20 generation ran from 1990 to 1999 and included both NA and turbo variants; US-market cars tended to be toward the higher end of the range.


Weight by trim and configuration


The following figures reflect curb weight, i.e., the car's weight with standard equipment and fluids, not including passengers or cargo.



  • Naturally aspirated MR2 (SW20), 2.0L 3S-GE: approximately 2,700–2,800 lb (1,225–1,270 kg).

  • Turbo MR2 (SW20), 2.0L 3S-GTE: approximately 2,900–3,000 lb (1,315–1,360 kg).


These ranges apply to typical US-spec cars for the 1992 model year; weights can vary slightly by market, equipment, and any added options.


Notes on measurement and weight shifts


Manufacturers list curb weight as a baseline; real-world weight can vary with accessories, such as a removable hardtop, sunroof, or upgraded brakes. The turbo variant is heavier due to the turbocharged engine and related components, while the NA version remains lighter and often more agile.


Summary


The 1992 Toyota MR2 typically weighs between about 2,700 and 3,000 pounds, with NA models closer to the lower end and Turbo models toward the higher end. For precise numbers, check the specific vehicle’s build data or manufacturer brochure for the exact market and option package.
