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.

Front and rear axle loads

At 54/46, the 3,891 lbs puts about 2,101 lbs on the front axle and 1,790 lbs on the rear — 311 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: 62.2 in of track at the front against 63.0 in at the rear, 0.8 in narrower in front.

Against the rest of the subcompact cars class

Ranked on the lightest configuration of each nameplate, the RC is 14 of 21 in Subcompact Cars, 286 lbs above the 3,605 lbs median and lighter than 7 of its peers.

How the figure moved since 2015

The lightest 2015 record is 3,748 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 3,891 lbs — 143 lbs heavier (3.8%).

At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 3,891 lbs against 3,748 lbs in 2015, a 143 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.
