Weight

The Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0 CRDi 4WD with a Hobby Excellent 490 SFf with an actual weight of 1388 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Hyundai is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Hobby with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is good.

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Hyundai is more than 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 70%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 77%.
  • 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 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 176 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.
  • 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.

Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.

User Reviews

Bob Parker reviewed a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0 CRDi 4WD:

"Have been towing a Lunar Freelander 3 (2007) with a SF 20L CRDi, cruising at 55 mph comfortable ride, I do get a bit of a twitch as higher vehicles pass, but over all fantastic, as for Clutch, I have had the SF for over 2 years and have experienced clutch slip when NOT towing, she now needs a clutch as informed by Local Mechanic (Trusted), but we have been away this weekend, and only problem with clutch was while reversing onto pitch up incline . would I buy another ??
SF not selling this one yet over 100K on clock "
