Compare Mazda RX-8 weight

An exact difference is shown only when both sides are a single recorded value. Ranges describe different configurations and are not subtracted.

Year A

Year B

Find my exact configuration

Choose a recorded configuration to see the curb weight, GVWR, and payload stored for that record. Values are not mixed from other trims.

Select a configuration, or open a model year above. The configuration name is the recorded trim, cab, bed, and drivetrain title when the source includes them.

How much weight can I carry?

Estimated remaining payload = payload rating − passengers − cargo − accessories − tongue weight. Ratings vary by equipment and configuration. Use the figure on the certification label when this field is empty. A positive result is not proof that driving or towing is safe. GVWR, axle ratings, trailer ratings, and the owner’s manual still apply, and they take precedence over catalog figures.

Enter a payload rating to estimate remaining capacity.

What the weight terms mean

Curb weight

Curb weight is the vehicle weight under the manufacturer measurement definition, without cargo or passengers.

Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)

GVWR is the manufacturer maximum permitted loaded vehicle weight.

Payload

Payload is the rated capacity for occupants, cargo, and other loads. It depends on the exact configuration.

Towing capacity

Towing capacity is a trailer weight rating. It is not the same as payload.
