 Performance | |  Weight |
The Mazda CX-5 D 2.2 4WD aut. with a Lunar Clubman SB with an actual weight of 1460 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Mazda is in general very good. But the weight of the Lunar with a User Payload (155 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
- Lunar Clubman SB: 1460 kg.
- Mazda CX-5 D 2.2 4WD aut.: 1790 kg.
- Noseweight: 80 kg.
- Actual weight ratio: 82%.
Performance
- The engine's performance is generally good on flat roads (performance score to compare 234 points).
- Speeds of 76 mph (122 km/h) to 81 mph (130 km/h) are often quite possible.
- There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 303 points).
- Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
- Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 18.5 sec.
- In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 293 points).
- No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 24%.
- On motorway inclines hardly any higher revs are needed.
- A speed of 66 mph (106 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
- The towing limit of the Mazda 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 (or B96) driving license.
- Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 82%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 93%.
- 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 80 kg.
- Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
- Stability and safety score to compare is 129 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 very good.
- Proper and careful loading is still important!
- 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.
