Seat Leon 1.0 TSI Caravan as an example

Advice with maximum weight

We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1000 kg kg with this Seat.

In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1000 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.

The Seat Leon 1.0 TSI with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1000 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Seat is in general sufficient. 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 good.
