Weight

The Audi Q7 3.0 TDI with a Swift Challenger X 850 with an actual weight of 1799 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Audi is in general very good. And also the weight of the Swift with a User Payload (160 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Audi 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 driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 78%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 87%.
  • There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
  • Recommended noseweight is 95 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 148 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.
  • If the caravan is well loaded 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

Dave Harrison reviewed a Audi Q7 3.0 TDI:

"I bought the Q7 originally to tow a lunar alaria which it pulled with ease. I had the car remapped for towing which proved even better as the car is only a basic SE 218bhp. I now tow a challenger x850 with a plate upgrade to 2000kg.I cannot fault the pulling power of the Q7 and would highly recommend it for any heavy twin axle caravan. the mpg I'm getting is quite good for a 3L. Around 28/29 to the gallon although I don't boot it, steady away at around 58 mph seems to be the ultimate speed for getting the most out of it."
