How much does a Chevrolet Optra weigh kg?

Typically around 1,200 kg, with weight varying by engine and trim.


The weight of the Chevrolet Optra is not a single fixed number because it varies by model year, engine, and equipment. Different markets sold Optra variants such as the 1.6 and 1.8 petrol models, as well as the Optra Magnum diesel, each with different curb weights. The figures below provide representative ranges and explain how to find the exact weight for a specific car.


Representative weights by variant


The following weights are typical curb weights for common Optra variants. Actual weight varies by market, year, and optional equipment.



  • Optra 1.6 L petrol: approximately 1,150–1,200 kg

  • Optra 1.8 L petrol: approximately 1,200–1,260 kg

  • Optra Magnum (diesel, around 1.9–2.0 L): approximately 1,300–1,350 kg


Note: These figures are approximate. For an exact weight, check the vehicle's door jamb placard or the official specification sheet for the specific model and year.


Notes on regional differences


Because the Optra was marketed in different regions under various configurations and with different equipment levels, curb weight can shift slightly from one market to another. If you’re evaluating a used Optra, identify the exact variant (engine, transmission, trim) and verify its official curb weight from the manufacturer's literature or a trusted database for that market.


Summary


In general, the Chevrolet Optra weighs about 1,200 kg on average, with typical ranges spanning roughly 1,100 to 1,350 kg depending on the engine and trim. When precise weight matters—for example for loading limits or towing considerations—consult the specific car’s certification plate or manufacturer documentation for that exact model year and market.
