Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Kia is more than 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 0%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 0%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 370 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 very good.
  • 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

Ray Davis reviewed a Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi [4WD]:

"I'm towing a 2004 Compass Rally 534 but no option for it in caravan choice so went for nearest weight. Compass is a heavy van but the Kia pulls with ease. Plenty of power when pulling away and overtaking. Rock solid on stability side. Very pleased with the Kia performance although mpg is not good at around 25 mpg at best towing but must see if the cruise control improves this. All in all extremely pleased with the combination."
