    Weigh Bridge Weight:
    (in kg's)

    I've been searching the owners manual, but i can't find the curb weight. The sales brochure might have it, but i don't have one for it.


    In my reading i did find something stupid, the Calais is wider than every other model by 1mm. 1812mm for everything, but Calais' are 1813 haha.
