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, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 57%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 63%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 231 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 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

Roger Clarke reviewed a Kia Sorento 2.5 CRDi VGT:

"I have got a 2007 Kia Sorento Titan (2.5 diesel 170bhp), it has now be chipped to 220bhp.I tow an Avondale Eagle 2007. The Kia is a perfect car for towing and has great stability in all weathers. Plenty of torque and good mpg, it takes hills with little effort."
