Performance
Weight

The Hyundai i40 1.7 CRDi with a Bailey Pursuit 530-4 with an actual weight of 1375 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 fairly good. But the weight of the Bailey with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is quite heavy, but no problem if the caravan is well loaded and the driving speed is not too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Weight

  • The towing limit of the Hyundai 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 78%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 88%.
  • 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 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 143 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.
  • 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.

User Reviews

Nigel reviewed a Hyundai i40 1.7 CRDi:

"I\'m new to caravannig, as I write this I\'ve owned a van for 3 months. The i40 is very soft on the rear end with a Bailey Pursuit as in I heard the bump stops hit twice and that was taking my time,so I have uprated the rear springs (from Mad Suspension) not with these rubber bands, the result is amazing and anyone with an i40 I suggest this is a must. The original springs had only just over 50,000 miles on them.
I also have previously fitted a tuning kit to the car for better economy (70+mpg on a round trip to London and thats not taking my time) the benefit of the kit is that is increased the torque from 330Nm to 420Nm so this extra power is fantastic. I\'m doing approx 40+mpg whilst towing (combined).
Towing on wet grass hasn\'t been an issue yet with the traction control.
Ok the i40 has been modifed but for the price of these improvements the car is still alot cheaper than many of its rivals. Would recommend this as a tow car but be prepared to do a spring alteration."
