Default Why the incoming Epica is so heavy 1958 KG vs Malibu 1495 KG

500KG difference, I don't know what they stuff into the Epica, Lead alloy frame, nuclear radiation-proof layer. Man, GM have to answer the question. :shock:

Not only is it heavy, it barely has horsepower, only 155 hp.

Just my opinion, but seems that korean cars are more heavy than japanese equivalents.

My wild guess: they use steel in places where Japanese brands spend a little more and use aluminum.
