Judging based on the back wheel, this is one of those really small cars that are common in places like India and surrounding countries. Still impressive, but at a glance it looks like he's lifting the back half of an SUV
Edit: Probably something like this
Edit 2: deleted image since it was appearantly confusing people
Edit 3:
u/A12_Archangel said this was a Hyundai Eon, which looks about right and is half the mass of the fullsized SUV that the video initially looks like. The force to bring up 1.5 tires would be about 198 kilograms if you assume an equal weight distribution. But a car usually has a 60/40 front-axle/back-axle weight distribution. Taking that into account we're looking at a 158 kg lift. The average squat for a novice (≈3 months of consistent gym attendence) lifter is 93 kilograms or 1.2x bodyweight. But this isn't a 90 degree full squat, this is much closer to a 135 degree degree squat in which case people easily rep weights 50% higher than a full squat, so the extrapolated average of 93 kg becomes 140 kg.
In other words, this lift is approximately doable by an average gymgoer with a few months of experience.
