Advice with maximum weight
We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1610 kg kg with this Jaguar.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1610 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.
 Performance | |  Weight |
The Jaguar XE P300 AWD with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1610 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Jaguar is in general very good. But the weight of the Caravan with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy, but no problem if the caravan is well loaded and the driving speed is not too fast.

Actual Weights
- Caravan as an example: 1610 kg.
- Jaguar XE P300 AWD: 1990 kg.
- Noseweight: 90 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 81%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 296 points).
- Speeds of 86 mph (139 km/h) to 91 mph (146 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 319 points).
- Higher revs (1800 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 10.7 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 365 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 30%). Not even on Hill starts.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2400 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 79 mph (128 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Jaguar 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 81%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 90%.
- 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 - 90 kg.
- Towball limit is 75 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 139 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.
