Attention
The Skoda 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.
Also make a calculation of the Skoda on the fuel engine only in case the battery is empty.

Actual Weights
- Bailey Pegasus GT65 Rimini: 1472 kg.
- Skoda Superb 1.4 TSI PHEV: 2030 kg.
- Noseweight: 80 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 73%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 235 points).
- Speeds of 73 mph (118 km/h) to 84 mph (135 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 285 points).
- Higher revs (1800 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 13.9 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 259 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 21%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (3200 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 63 mph (102 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Skoda 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 73%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 80%.
- There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
- Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
- Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 164 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 good.
- If the caravan is well loaded 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.
