We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 725 kg kg with this Toyota.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 725 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.
Performance
Weight
The Toyota C-HR 1.8 Hybrid with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 725 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Toyota is in general more than sufficient. If the hybrid battery is not completely empty. And also 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 very good.

Attention
The Toyota is a hybrid car. The calculated performance depends on the amount of power available in the battery. The advice and performance are based on average use where there is still a small amount of power in the battery.

Toyota C-HR 1.8 Hybrid Caravan as an example
Actual Weights
Caravan as an example: 725 kg.
Toyota C-HR 1.8 Hybrid: 1695 kg.
Noseweight: 50 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 43%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 206 points).
Speeds of 68 mph (110 km/h) to 78 mph (125 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 141 points).
Slightly higher revs (3100 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 17.5 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 207 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 15%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (5100 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 60 mph (96 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Toyota is 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 43%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 48%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 294 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 more than sufficient.
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.
