Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI Quattro Sprite Alpine 4
Actual Weights
Sprite Alpine 4: 1237 kg.
Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI Quattro: 1840 kg.
Noseweight: 70 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 67%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 267 points).
Speeds of 81 mph (130 km/h) to 86 mph (138 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 240 points).
Slightly higher revs (1900 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 13.3 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 320 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 22%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (2800 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 73 mph (118 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Audi is more than 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 67%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 75%.
The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 194 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 very good.
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.
