  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 65%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 73%.

User Reviews

John C reviewed a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2.0 Hdi semi-aut.:

"We have towed our van with no effort, it pulls away quickly from lights or when joining roundabouts, and I have seen larger tow cars with similar sized vans struggle to keep up on acceleration. Car is very comfortable and easy to drive, and takes the strain out of towing. Only problem I have found is that when reversing with the EGS gear box, if you have been on a long drive the car is very jerky so can cause problems. "
