It is mainly the aero and the bigger wheels and brakes. Stiffeners and other braces don't weight too much. In general the North American models weight much more comparing to other countries. I guess they had to strenghen the chassis with additional components for better collision protection. You have many big trucks and heavy SUV and somehow this little car has to survive in such conditions.
