- Kia Carens 2.0 CRDi aut.: 1761 kg.
- Noseweight: 70 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 70%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 190 points).
- Speeds of 69 mph (111 km/h) to 75 mph (121 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is sufficient power at low engine speeds (score to compare 153 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 25 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 187 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 14%.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 57 mph (92 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 70%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 79%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 60 - 70 kg.
- Towball limit is 50 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
- Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 182 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 more than 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.
