Advice with maximum weight
We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1850 kg kg with this Audi.
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.

The Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI 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 Audi is in general very good. And also the weight of the Caravan with a User Payload (-400 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights
- Caravan as an example: 1250 kg.
- Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI: 2245 kg.
- Noseweight: 70 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 56%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 307 points).
- Speeds of 90 mph (145 km/h) to 94 mph (151 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 303 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 9.7 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 381 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 83 mph (134 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Audi is more than 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 56%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 61%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 239 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.
- 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.
