Weight

The Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi with a Caravan with an actual weight of 200 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Kia is in general very good. And also the weight of the Caravan with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

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 10%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 11%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 351 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

"Our Kia Sorento 2013 is OK pulling our Bailey Rimini Caravan also 2013 model up to 58mph but is positively unstable above that speed even very carefully loaded & 85-95 nose weight."
