Weight

The Suzuki SX4 1.6 4Grip with a Eriba Touring Puck 120 with an actual weight of 680 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Suzuki is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Eriba 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 Suzuki 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 46%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 54%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 291 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 fairly 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

Fred Southwell reviewed a Suzuki SX4 1.6 4Grip:

"My version of the Puck is not listed but the selection is very close to it. Towing is no problem, the caravan is so light it can't be felt most of the time. Acceleration is reduced but maximum legal speeds are easily maintained on level Motorways and A roads without the need to keep changing gear. Long hills do require a downchange.Fuel consumption is reduced from 39mpg to 36mpg when towing.
Haven't tried it in very hilly/mountainous country yet."
