Weight

The Chrysler Voyager 2.5 CRD with a Coachman Amara 560/6 with an actual weight of 1567 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Chrysler is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Coachman with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is good.

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Chrysler is 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 70%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 77%.
  • 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 85 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 172 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 fairly 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

Lee Morrell reviewed a Chrysler Voyager 2.5 CRD:

"This is our second voyager 2.5crd we have owned, after swapping and changing various cars over the last few years we couldn't find a car that satisfied us with performance and economy when towing,we've had laguna ate the clutch, frontera diesel(don't even go there)kia sedona auto, nice car but you have to thrash it to get up hill then it becomes thirsty, and nissan x-trail we found thirsty and i was less cofident on motorway found it a bit twitchy otherwise not bad.
back to the voyager...These give excellent comfort space for family, performance is great on motorways round town, & hills. Fuel consumption is around the best we've had on any of the cars mentioned upto 30-32mpg and even better when not towing excellent for size of car, one of the main reasons for retuning to a voyager, my only critisism is the clutch can be a bit of a tire on your leg in traffic, but if you go for the auto you sacrifice economy.another luxury is cruise control , on motorway if you get a clearish road this makes the journey tireless, set at 55mph and its great.
parts can be a pain to obtain but if you look you will find,
would reccommend to anyone good car ignore critics...
