 Performance | |  Weight |
The Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi aut. 4WD with a Bailey Senator Virginia with an actual weight of 1459 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Hyundai is in general sufficient. And also the weight of the Bailey 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.

Actual Weights
- Bailey Senator Virginia: 1459 kg.
- Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi aut. 4WD: 1898 kg.
- Noseweight: 80 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 77%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally sufficient on flat roads (performance score to compare 149 points).
- Speeds of 64 mph (103 km/h) to 71 mph (114 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 149 points).
- Slightly higher revs (1900 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 33.5 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 117 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads but the performance is not that great. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes from 11% to 12%.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Hyundai 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 77%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 86%.
- 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 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 sufficient.
- If the caravan is well loaded safe driving is possible.
- It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations.
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.
