How much does a T5 Estate weigh?

[Gwaredd]

In the handbook it says to check the plate on the inner wing, which says it weighs 1970KG's!!! Surely that's not right! That's only 20KG's lighter than my Transit! :eek:

It goes too well to weigh any more than 1600KG's. Anyone know?

I may be wrong but I thought about 1550 to 1650 kg aprox so a very accurate guess,
1970kg sounds way over the top! surelly thats its towing weight or a AWD version.'

When ever anyone asks me I say 1.7 tonnes.

O.K., the figure on the plate is the gross vehicle weight. In my case (855 T5) it's 2020Kg. This is total weight fully loaded. The handbook says the kerb weight is on the registration document, but it isn't. I phoned Volvo & they told me the kerb weight of mine is 1485Kg., so the total permitted load would be 535Kg. Hope that helps.
Cheers, Chris.

Aah, Cheers for that. I saw on a yank website (they love there T5's too!) that they weigh 3200lbs, which worked out to be approx 1475Kgs. Not a bad weight at all for a tank!

I noticed today that the T5 is lower & narrower than my sister-in-law's Mk5 Golf, so they're not as big as you think they are!

Cheers,
