The base unit of mass in the SI is the kilogram. There are a thousand grams in a kilogram, and a thousand kilograms in a tonne.
A quart is a measure of volume, not weight. A liter would be the metric equivalent of a quart in terms of volume. If it's weight you're looking for, the basic unit of mass in the metric system is the gram.

liter
1.136 L = 1 imp qt There is no such thing as a metric quart. Liters are the standard volume measurement in the metric system.
The quart and the liter are very similar in size. The liter belongs to the metric system and the SI system of measurements, whereas the quart belongs to the imperial system of measurements. 1 US quart is equal to about 0.946 liters, and 1 liter is equal to about 1.0567 US quarts.
No, it is not part of the metric system. A quart is equivalent to .95 liters.
A liter is a bit larger than a quart. The liter is a metric measurement, but the quart is a "standard" measurement. All in all, 1 quart is about 0.946 liters (A quart is about 95% of a liter).
A litre is a metric unit. A quart is two pints - an imperial unit.
A liter (metric system) is equal to 33.8 fluid ounces (English system). A US quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces, so the liter is often compared to or estimated as one US quart.
There are four metric cups to the liter, just as there are four US cups per quart.
A liter is closest.
The question being WHY, it is because when the metric system was devised it just ended that way. On the other hand, the British Quart is actually larger in volume than the liter where the US quart is smaller by volume than the liter. By the way this difference in standards between the different countries is what led to the founding of the metric system, a way of globalising weights and measures.
