Performance
The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 299 points).
Speeds of 87 mph (140 km/h) to 91 mph (146 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 413 points).
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 352 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads (up to 25%). Not even on Hill starts.
A speed of 78 mph (126 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
The towing range is between 82 miles (20->80% rapid charging) and 136 miles (maximum) 131 - 219 km.
Weight
The towing limit of the Audi is 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.
The caravan is too heavily loaded.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 61%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 65%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 85 - 95 kg.
Towball limit is 80 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
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.
