Yaris hatchback vs Sedan weight difference etc.....

[tyrone_yaris]

Hi,

Just wondering is there a difference in weight etc between the yaris sedan and hatchback also called Vitz (hatchback) and Belta (sedan) here. Out here in our part of the world there is a general perception that the Sedan is underpowered due to the boot space and hence a heavier and extra load on the engine both of which are 1000 cc 1KR FE. Btw....both cars have the same engine specs here in the 1,000 cc category i.e. the 1KR FE engine. There are also 1300 cc variants too.

However, I have driven and owned both cars (hatch and sedan 1,000 cc engine) and found no difference in the pick and drive whatsoever. In fact I find the sedan mre responsive and powerful.

Surprisingly I have noted that both the cars have a curb weight of 990 kg

Anyone else care to add some info / experience they have using either of these wonderful vehicles?
