Verdict

The Fiat 500X 1.0 and the Caravan as an example of a laden weight of 1000 kg is an excellent combination for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

Weight

The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.

Flat roads

The performances of the engine of this outfit are in general fairly good. Under favourable conditions on motorways it is possible to drive with 60 mph in the 6th gear, by giving the engine plenty of throttle. In that case the engine runs approximately 2500 rpm. For example, in a headwind or a crossover, downshift to the 5th gear. The engine runs approximately 2900 rpm.

Mountains

On most motorways inclines (1:20) it is barely possible to drive in the 4th gear with 50 mph up hill. In the 3th gear the top speed is 62 mph (5026 rpm). Hill starts are possible even on steep slopes up to 17%, if the front wheels have sufficient traction. While driving the engine has enough power on slopes of 30% to drive.
