Weight

The Hyundai i30 - 1.6 CRDi hp aut. with a Sprite Musketeer TD with an actual weight of 1270 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the Hyundai is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Sprite with a User Payload (190 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is not too heavy, if the caravan is well loaded.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

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 79%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 92%.
  • 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 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 150 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.
  • 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

Glen reviewed a Hyundai i30 - 1.6 CRDi hp aut.:

"I am towing a sprite coastline esprit 475 (2011) which is basically a special ed of the musketeer TD. The van tows lovely with the I30. I was a bit aprehensive at first as the Hyundai rear is quite low, but when hitched the suspension barely moves. There is plenty of power, virtually no swing or bounce and gradients both ways are no problem. I was surprised at how good it actually pulls with ease and the Hyundai is a good performer for a mid-range hatchback. If you chipped the engine this would bring you another 30-40 bhp which is useful but i dont think essential. Although I am towing at a weight ratio of 91% which is over the 85% recommended.I didnt experience any difficulty and never felt the car was under powered for the weight."
