Advice with maximum weight
We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1510 kg kg with this Peugeot.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1250 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.

Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 207 points).
- Speeds of 72 mph (116 km/h) to 78 mph (125 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 244 points).
- Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 23.1 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 216 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 16%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2900 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 60 mph (97 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Peugeot 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 69%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 78%.
- 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 187 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.
