Kerb Weight of different Models.
 
Does anybody know the different kerb weights of the ZS models? On sites like Carfolio, it doesn't seem to differentiate between Hatch and Saloon, when surely there are differences? So can anyone fill in the blanks?

ZS 180 Saloon -

ZS 180 Hatch -

ZS 120 Saloon -

ZS 120 Hatch -

Cheers

As far I I know is the Hatch is about 50Kg's lighter than the saloon.
So the 180 saloon is around 1285Kg's that would make the 180 Hatch something like 1235Kg's
The weight should be in the Vin plate on some form or other !!

The 120+ Zs's are about 80Kg's less than the equivalent 180 due to the lighter engine!! The 120 basic is 95Kg's less than the equivalent 180!!
So for example a 120 basic or non+ saloon weighs around 1190Kg's!!

Pretty impressive considering the saloon looks huge.

Ah nice one, that explains pretty well.

It just got me thinking really, doing a VVC conversion on a hatchback ZS would be more or less the same power to weight as a ZR160, but with better handling. Food for thought!

my mk1 180 hatch was 1200 kilos standard on weighbridge, my mates mk1 180 saloon was 1235 on weighbridge.

You save your self 50 Kg's by using the K4 VVC compared to the V6! But unless you tune it the power to weight ratio is lower than the 180!! Also the saloon body is more rigid than the hatch's and has a better weight balance so will handle a tad better!!

A ZS hatch is 130kg heavier (2 teenagers or 1 fat bloke!) and 130mm longer.
But I'd take the ZS's comfort and multi-link suspension over the ZR any day.
