Advice with maximum weight
We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1400 kg kg with this Honda.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1400 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.
 Performance | |  Weight |
The Honda HR-V Turbo aut. with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1400 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Honda is in general fairly 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. 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!

Actual Weights
- Caravan as an example: 1400 kg.
- Honda HR-V Turbo aut.: 1728 kg.
- Noseweight: 75 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 81%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 243 points).
- Speeds of 77 mph (124 km/h) to 82 mph (133 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 201 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2100 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 16.8 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 280 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 17%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (3800 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 68 mph (109 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Honda is sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
- If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
- 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 92%.
- The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving exist. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has knowledge of and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is recommended.
- Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 137 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 fairly good.
- Proper and careful loading is still important!
- 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.
