Hi All,

Would anyone happen to know the approximate weight difference between the base and premium package Ralliart?

As well, any figures on the weight of the non-Recaro seat found in the base model?


Thanks.

 

You would need to know the weight difference for all these items:

2011 RALLIART Touring Package :

• 6CD/MP3 In-Dash Head Unit
• Bi-Xenon HID Headlamps with manual leveling
• Rain-Sensing Wipers
• Auto On/Off Headlamp Control

• Power Glass Sunroof


I have this pkg on my RA, I can look at the weight sticker, not sure if its printed before it leaves Japan as a base model or after all the domestic options are added on US shores?
I would imagine the moonroof is cut and installed in japan but I could be wrong. That and the Subwoofer would be the biggest weight differences.

 

probably around 50lbs (just a guess) not much when considering a 3500lbs car. Why interested?

 

Just trying to do a comparison of the two trim levels.

 

If you're worried about performance, the only one that really makes a difference is sportback or not sportback. Between the sedan models, you have to remember that a lot of those options are just replacing other things on the non-premium edition. The Nav/Sat might be heavier or lighter than the original plane Jane stereo, but probably not by much. Speakers aren't that heavy either. Maybe the sunroof would make a difference? I'm sure it's slight if any. Last but not least, the Recaro seats might be a lot heavier than stock seats. But I have no idea about that. I imagine that these half suede half leathers I have in my car are probably a heavier material than the standard cloth.

I would agree with the above statement that we're probably looking at about 50lbs. Small beans. That's less than the difference between having a passenger or not.

 

Very true.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I think the Moon roof is the biggest weight factor. Glass, motor, extra rails.
The weight is also at the highest part of the car.
