Attention
The Kia 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 Kia on the fuel engine only in case the battery is empty.

Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 167 points).
- Speeds of 60 mph (97 km/h) to 76 mph (123 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 105 points).
- Slightly higher revs (3300 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 20.4 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 102 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 13%.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 47 mph (75 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Kia 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 71%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 80%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
- Stability and safety score to compare is 188 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 just 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.
Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.
