Weight

The Ssangyong Korando xDi 200 [4WD] with a Bailey Olympus 540-5 with an actual weight of 1450 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Ssangyong is in general very good. And also the weight of the Bailey with a User Payload (178 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is pretty good.

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Ssangyong is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 74%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 83%.
  • There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
  • Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 161 points.

If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.

Conclusion

  • Performance is very good.
  • If the caravan is well loaded safe driving is possible.
  • It's a perfect match!

 

Influence of User Payload on stability

Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.

Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.

User Reviews

Phil Laird reviewed a Ssangyong Korando xDi 200 [4WD]:

"Just bought the Korando a few weeks ago as I needed to replace my Sportage and needed a powerful car that could double as a family run around. Very pleased with the Korando its lovely to drive on motorway as well as around town. It tows lovely sometimes not even remembering I am towing almost 1.5 tonnes behind me.
I would recommend giving this car a look if you are thinking of buying a new car, you get a lot of car for your money.Economy looks pretty good too."
