 Performance | |  Weight |
The Ssangyong Rexton 290 TD with a Swift Conqueror 630 with an actual weight of 1834 kg is a match suitable for most journeys, sometimes with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Ssangyong is in general sufficient. But the weight of the Swift with a User Payload (160 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 630: 1834 kg.
- Ssangyong Rexton 290 TD: 2151 kg.
- Noseweight: 100 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 85%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 177 points).
- Speeds of 69 mph (112 km/h) to 76 mph (123 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 118 points).
- Slightly higher revs (2100 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 31.1 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 139 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads but the performance is not that great. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 10%, but do require some experience from the driver.
- On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
- A speed of 53 mph (86 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Ssangyong 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 85%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 94%.
- 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 100 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 128 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 sufficient.
- Proper and careful loading is still important!
- It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations.
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.
