Advice with maximum weight
We do not recommend towing a caravan that is heavier than 1560 kg kg with this Honda.
In this advice we assume an average caravan with a weight of 1250 kg. Remember that the exact performance depends on the chosen caravan and that air resistance and dimensions have an influence.

The Honda CR-V 2.0i 4WD with a Caravan as an example with an actual weight of 1250 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Honda is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Caravan with a User Payload (-110 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights
- Caravan as an example: 1250 kg.
- Honda CR-V 2.0i 4WD: 1813 kg.
- Noseweight: 70 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 69%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 228 points).
- Speeds of 74 mph (120 km/h) to 80 mph (129 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 121 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2700 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 18.7 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 251 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 15%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (4300 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 65 mph (105 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Honda 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 69%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 79%.
- The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.
- Recommended noseweight is 70 kg.
- Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 188 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 fairly 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.
