Performance
Weight
The towing limit is exceeded by 39 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Swift. Make sure the towing limit is correct.
We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!
The Mazda CX-30 e-SkyActiv-X 186 4WD with a Swift Sprite Alpine 4 with an actual weight of 1339 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Mazda is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Swift with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Mazda CX-30 e-SkyActiv-X 186 4WD Swift Sprite Alpine 4
Actual Weights
Swift Sprite Alpine 4: 1339 kg.
Mazda CX-30 e-SkyActiv-X 186 4WD: 1728 kg.
Noseweight: 75 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 77%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 243 points).
Speeds of 77 mph (124 km/h) to 82 mph (133 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 187 points).
Slightly higher revs (2200 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 16.9 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 272 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 (3500 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 68 mph (109 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit is exceeded by 39 kg (check this in your vehicle documents).
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
The caravan is too heavily loaded.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 77%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 88%.
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 75 kg.
Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 148 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.
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.
