Weight

The Mazda 6 2.2 D with a Sprite Alpine 2 with an actual weight of 1179 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Mazda is in general good. And also the weight of the Sprite with a User Payload (166 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Mazda is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 69%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 80%.
  • The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
  • Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 192 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 good.
  • 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 Stott reviewed a Mazda 6 2.2 D:

"Change from a Nissan x trail to a mazda 6, was worried I may miss the 4 wheel drive. However the mazda was more stable than the x trail and much better if compared to x trail in 4X4 mode. The cruse control is great on motorway I set to 58mph and this is maintained without issue. Puling f is a breeze and MPG is great especially compared to the xtaril, just shows you dont need a 4x4 with a suitable van."
