What is the difference in weight of a 2.0 and 3.0 Q5?

Anybody know the weight difference in a 2016 2.0T versus a 3.0 Q5?

Thanks

Yup, and I would guess most of it is upfront due to a heavier engine.

Yes, and you can feel it. The engine visibly looks pretty far forward, the centerline of the 2 & 5 cylinder are in front of the axle, not ideal, though the transmission and transfer case are behind that. In my BMW 3 series, the 3rd cylinder is behind the axle centerline, the engine sits very far back... I'd almost call it mid engine.

I think the 2.0T feels significantly more nimble and responsive than the 3.0T. But I could be biased.
