Curb weights sourced from the NHTSA Canadian Vehicle Specifications database and recorded per body style, with fluids and a full fuel tank but no occupants or cargo.

Against the rest of the midsize cars class

Only 2 of the 44 vehicles EPA files under Midsize Cars start lighter than the Forte's 2,769 lbs, and 41 of the 44 are heavier; the class median is 3,843 lbs.

Front and rear axle loads

At 61/39, the 2,769 lbs puts about 1,689 lbs on the front axle and 1,080 lbs on the rear — 609 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

How the figure moved since 2015

The lightest 2015 record is 2,804 lbs; the lightest 2024 record is 2,769 lbs — 35 lbs lighter (1.2%).

At the top of the range the 2024 file reaches 3,012 lbs against 2,983 lbs in 2015, a 29 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.
