Maybe you are extra perceptive to the feeling because I thought little of it since it goes away after a bit. The following is from this morning. Video was too long to attach I think. I'll crop and try again later and update!

4k+ on my 23 MT. No real complains. Very enjoyable car experience. Every now and then into 3rd from redline, the RPMs seem to float after the clutch pedal is released and at WOT for about 1 to 3 seconds before speed/rpm start to increase together. My first impression was a "heavy flywheel...
Ah I understand. I think I missed your comparison referring between AT and MT. I haven't weighed either yet. DrSupra and Sub-MKV referenced Similar comparisons here and found that maybe atleast a 20lb difference ? With the additional idea that maybe 2023 models increased weight... and the...
If I may chime in..
It can't be marketing. Otherwise customers in 1 country would be upset if they cared the weight was more than another's country.
There will always be that discrepancy. I can search laws for our respective countries if you'd like.
Below is a snapshot as to why Curb weight...
What im understanding then, is that "Basically the same" you mean "similar"? Because if thats what you mean, I agree with you. Similar models and trims will have similar mass/weight. The term "basically the same" is not precise or objective thus leaving room for many interpretations.
There is...
Good images. Here is the OP
I have the A91 MT edition as well and will be measuring soon. I'll try to find someone locally with the AT.
I too wonder if the weight increased slightly in 2023.
Correction to fuel: US gal and UK gal hold the same capacity but have different values. So, the fuel tank capacities are actually the same (52L).
Regarding the battery, maybe someone from the UK or JP provide confirmation of the Autostart/stop feature (and battery mass)?
Basically not the same. Your image shows a range for the UK models which demontrates there is a difference in between and within trims.
The info shared in the OP has all been "published" the same (Via Toyota pres). Countries must legally disclose this information as it is directly related to...
Exactly! The easiest to identify in this case would be to (1) compare fuel tank size which will increase material and overal curb weight when filled to a greater capacity. (2) The US has a strict standard for bumper and roof crush-testing which could mean more mass related to reinforcement...
This is great.. and definitely on the lighter side according to spec sheets. What options/accessories are included in the measurement?
I will measure mine soon and get back you.
This is a resource if you are looking for weight specs on the Toyota J29-B58B30/B48B30 known as the A90-2.0/3.0. Only specs from Toyota sources are provided (no secondary sources)
Keep in mind there are standard as well as optional equipment and accessories. Fuel is typically considered full...
