What sedan weighs almost 6000 lbs? My Elantra weighs almost 3000. Can't imagine a full-size sedan is double the weight?

Probably something like my Kia niro. It's a hatchback/small SUV but it is a battery phev.

A quick search tells me the Niro PHEV weighs about 3300 pounds. Meantime, my Bolt EUV (similar size BEV) tops out around 3700.

No shit? I thought it was much heavier than that with the battery. Thanks for the update.
