- Fiat Grande Punto 1.4 8v: 1325 kg.
- Noseweight: 50 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 15%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 175 points).
- Speeds of 61 mph (99 km/h) to 68 mph (110 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only very moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 73 points).
- Slightly higher revs (3400 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 19.2 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 196 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 17%.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 57 mph (92 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Fiat is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
- The car is too heavily loaded.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 15%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 18%.
- The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
- Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 337 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 sufficient.
- 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.
