Why is the bottom of a vehicle made heavy?

The bottom of a vehicle is often made heavy to lower its center of gravity, which enhances stability and handling during turns and maneuvers. A lower center of gravity reduces the risk of rollover and improves overall safety. Additionally, heavy components, such as the engine and drivetrain, are typically placed low to optimize weight distribution and enhance traction on the road. This strategic weight placement contributes to better performance and control.
