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 Ford Fusion 1.6 TDCi with a Adria Altea 360 LT with an actual weight of 1050 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Ford is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Adria with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is good.
