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 small sport utility vehicle 2wd class

Ranked on the lightest configuration of each nameplate, the Niro is 9 of 60 in Small Sport Utility Vehicle 2WD, 772 lbs below the 3,989 lbs median and lighter than 51 of its peers.

Front and rear axle loads

At 60/40, the 3,217 lbs puts about 1,930 lbs on the front axle and 1,287 lbs on the rear — 643 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

The two axles are not the same width either: 61.8 in of track at the front against 62.2 in at the rear, 0.4 in narrower in front.

How the figure moved since 2017

The lightest 2017 record is 3,166 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 3,217 lbs — 51 lbs heavier (1.6%).

At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 3,717 lbs against 3,166 lbs in 2017, a 551 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.
