Weight

The Hyundai Grandeur 3.3i V6 aut. with a Swift Sprite Major 4 EB with an actual weight of 1475 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Hyundai is in general good. But the weight of the Swift with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy, but no problem if the caravan is well loaded and the driving speed is not too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Hyundai 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 76%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 85%.
  • 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 80 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 145 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 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.

User Reviews

merlin reviewed a Hyundai Grandeur 3.3i V6 aut.:

"I pull a Swift Major EB4 with my Hundi and I'm really happy to report that it does it without much dificulity.
Stability is usually fine, but side winds can make it a bit interesting at times.
Headwinds certainly make the fuel consumption shoot up. from a 9.1 ltr/100km to a rather depressing 16.4 ltr.
Once or twice I have a few shakes but I put that down to wind rather than anything else, but it does come through at the front end which can make it feel like it's taking over the car. If you're not used to it then it can be a bit scary,
The only thing I'd say which is a negative is driving the car isn't much different to driving it without a caravan behind you, so you can forget that you are towing!"
