Subaru Forester 2.0i e-BOXER Caravan as an example

Advice with maximum weight

We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1640 kg kg with this Subaru.

In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1250 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.

Performance

Weight

The Subaru Forester 2.0i e-BOXER with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1250 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Subaru is in general fairly good. If the hybrid battery is not completely empty. And also the weight of the Caravan with a User Payload (-190 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Weight ratio: 64% (71% of kerbweight) 1250 kg 1960 kg

Payloads

The User Payload in the car (including all passengers) and in the caravan is:

Car
200 kg 50 kg 100 kg 150 kg 200 kg 250 kg 300 kg 350 kg 400 kg 450 kg 500 kg 600 kg 700 kg 800 kg

Caravan
-190 kg 50 kg 100 kg 150 kg 200 kg 250 kg 300 kg 350 kg 400 kg

A User Payload of -190 kg in the caravan is not realistic in practice.

Attention

The Subaru is a hybrid car. The calculated performance depends on the amount of power available in the battery. The advice and performance are based on average use where there is still a small amount of power in the battery.

• There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 176 points).
• Slightly higher revs (2600 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
• Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 21.1 sec.
• In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 225 points).
• No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 14%.
• On motorway inclines higher revs (4400 rpm) are needed.
