DS DS7 Crossback E-Tense 4x4 Caravan as an example

Advice with maximum weight

We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1200 kg kg with this DS.

In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1200 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.

Performance

Weight

The DS DS7 Crossback E-Tense 4x4 with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1200 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the DS is in general very good. If the hybrid battery is not completely empty. And also 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 very good.

Weight ratio: 57% (63% of kerbweight) 1200 kg 2100 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 DS 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.

Also make a calculation of the DS on the fuel engine only in case the battery is empty.
