The Hyundai Coupe 2.0i CVVT with a Compass Omega 482 with an actual weight of 1385 kg is a match just suitable for most journeys but also with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Hyundai is in general more than sufficient. But the weight of the Compass 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!

Hyundai Coupe 2.0i CVVT Compass Omega 482
Actual Weights
Compass Omega 482: 1385 kg.
Hyundai Coupe 2.0i CVVT: 1555 kg.
Noseweight: 75 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 89%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 204 points).
Speeds of 69 mph (112 km/h) to 76 mph (122 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is only very moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 90 points).
Slightly higher revs (2900 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 20.3 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally good (score to compare 213 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 14%, but do require some experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines higher revs (4500 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 61 mph (98 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Hyundai is 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 89%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 102%.
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 70 - 75 kg.
Towball limit is 60 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 103 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 more than sufficient.
Proper and careful loading is still important!
It's a fairly good match, only for experienced (caravan) drivers and with some limitations.
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
