 Performance | |  Weight |
The Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI BlueMotion Techn. [2WD] with a Swift Conqueror 645 with an actual weight of 1822 kg is not a recommended match to drive.
The motor preformance of the Volkswagen is in general fairly 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 too heavy and not recommended for long distances. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!

Actual Weights
- Swift Conqueror 645: 1822 kg.
- Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI BlueMotion Techn. [2WD]: 1766 kg.
- Noseweight: 100 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 103%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 210 points).
- Speeds of 73 mph (117 km/h) to 78 mph (126 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 220 points).
- Slightly higher revs (1700 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 23 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 215 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 14%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (3000 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 61 mph (98 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Volkswagen is 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 103%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 118%.
- The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving is great. 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 a lot of knowledge and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive slowly. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is definitely recommended.
- Recommended noseweight is 100 kg.
- Safe speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 61 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.
- Proper and careful loading is essential!
- It's not a recomanded match. Only if you are an experienced (caravan) driver it is posible to drive carfully.
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.
