Weight

The Seat Leon 1.9 TDI pd with a Standaard Caravan with an actual weight of 950 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Seat is in general good. And also the weight of the Standaard 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 Seat 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 56%. 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 60 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 247 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

Chris M reviewed a Seat Leon 1.9 TDI pd:

"I tow a Compass Omega 430/5 1992 with an 05 Seat Leon TDI FR 1.9 150 bhp and what an excellent combination they make. I can use 6th gear down to 50mph a and easly accelerate up a incline with 5th gear. The car is always solid as a rock and it can't be faulted, apart from due to the car been a sports model I didn't get much change from £400 for a detachable towabar and single S14 socket - You couldn't even get a fixed towabr. Aside from that though it is superb. The only problem that it may have is the clearance. The sports suspension is perfect for towing and the noseweight is a good 75kg. I yet have to have a problem pulling on or off a slight due to the low ride but no doubt the traction control will help on slippy grass."
