Performance
Weight

The Kia Sorento 2.5 CRDi with a Bailey Pageant Bretagne with an actual weight of 1458 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Kia is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Bailey with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Kia 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 65%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 71%.
  • The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
  • Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 195 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 fairly 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.

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

Jeff H reviewed a Kia Sorento 2.5 CRDi:

"Just came back from a 2000+ mile round trip through France, Switzerland and Lake Garda in Italy.
The outfit was fully loaded on the way out and coped very well with all the uphill gradients in Switzerland. At the Gotthard tunnel approaches, we had to do many first gear hill starts and the car did struggle a little, but then most cars would towing all that weight.
Cruised at motorway speeds no problem and we averaged about 400 miles on a tank (25-28mpg). Kept up with friends towing smaller vans.
We kept the awning in the car and it was a very stable tow all the way.
Overall, I was very satisfied with the way the car behaved."
