I noticed the weight of the GX has increase 11kg (24lbs). I presume this is due to increased sound deadening as the changes to the 2008.5 GX would not account for this increase.

alloy rims on it as well where the 08 had steelies. Could that add 24 lbs?

Maybe or it could actually be lighter.

"Alloy wheels differ from normal steel wheels because of their lighter weight, which improves the steering and the speed of the car, however some alloy wheels are heavier than the equivalent size steel wheel."


I wonder if Mazda's Parts system would show the weight for each of these.
