Advice with maximum weight

We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1700 kg kg with this Jaguar.

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
Weight

The Jaguar XF Sportbrake 20d with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1250 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Jaguar is in general very good. And also the weight of the Caravan with a User Payload (-250 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

A User Payload of -250 kg in the caravan is not realistic in practice.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Jaguar 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 62%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 69%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 216 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.
  • 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

Steve reviewed a Jaguar XF Sportbrake 20d:

"In their new model XF Jaguar have made significant improvements for those choosing to use their car to tow a caravan. There's now a road light test facility to check all your van's lights are working correctly, plus in the hand book is a table showing the min and max wattages for the road light bulbs that the car's electrical can support.

The new Sportbrake tows as well as the previous model even though its weight is slightly lower, I've found no stability issues on any roads or in any traffic situations. The new Jaguar designed engines are more economical than the previous Ford designed units. Our previous 2013 2.2D Sportbrake averaged 29 mpg when towing, the new 2.0 D is averaging 34 mpg and it's done less than 1000 miles so I expect it to improve as the car loosens up. "
