Methodology
Kerb weight in kg from the versions of each generation; for the heaviest list we take the heaviest version, for the lightest — the lightest version. Values below 300 kg or above 40,000 kg are excluded.
Passenger cars only: trucks, buses and vans are excluded (the same rule as our rankings).
Values come from the 1CARS catalog. Part of the specifications are extracted from our articles and not yet checked by an editor; obvious outliers are excluded. Figures describe the cars in our catalog, not the whole market.
