Advice with maximum weight
We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1800 kg kg with this Landrover.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1800 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.
 Performance | |  Weight |
The Landrover Range Rover Velar P380 with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1800 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Landrover is in general very good. But the weight of the Caravan with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy. Proper and careful loading is essential and don't drive too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Actual Weights
- Caravan as an example: 1800 kg.
- Landrover Range Rover Velar P380: 2184 kg.
- Noseweight: 95 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 82%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 307 points).
- Speeds of 91 mph (146 km/h) to 94 mph (152 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 226 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2000 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 10.6 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 376 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 30%). Not even on Hill starts.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2700 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 82 mph (133 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Landrover 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 driving license.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 82%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 91%.
- 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 95 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 128 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.
- 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.
