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 1640 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 1640 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 more than sufficient. 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. Proper and careful loading is essential and don't drive too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Weight ratio: 84% (93% of kerbweight) 1640 kg 1960 kg

Payloads

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

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
200 kg 50 kg 100 kg 150 kg 200 kg 250 kg 300 kg 350 kg 400 kg

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.
