 Performance | |  Weight |
The Honda CR-V 2.2i-DTEC with a Swift Conqueror 530 with an actual weight of 1670 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 good. But the weight of the Swift with a User Payload (153 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy. Proper and careful loading is essential and don't drive too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Actual Weights
- Swift Conqueror 530: 1670 kg.
- Honda CR-V 2.2i-DTEC: 1948 kg.
- Noseweight: 90 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 86%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 234 points).
- Speeds of 76 mph (123 km/h) to 82 mph (132 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is more than enough power at low engine speeds (score to compare 229 points).
- Slightly higher revs (1700 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 19.3 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 262 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 17%.
- On motorway inclines higher revs (2700 rpm) are needed.
- A speed of 66 mph (106 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, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 86%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 97%.
- The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving exist. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has knowledge of and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is recommended.
- Recommended noseweight is 90 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 111 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.
- Proper and careful loading is still important!
- 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.
