Date of manufacture: february 2007 - up to now

99%

 

1400 kg     1415 kg

  The match between car and caravan is plausible in accordance with a mix of European standards. However, according to the British Towing Code the percentage (loaded caravan / kerbweight tow car) is 99%.

The towing performances of this Nissan with your Standaard Caravan are perfect (performance index = 103 km/h or 64 mph).

You may expect very lively performances from this outfit. On flat roads it's easy to come along, in which case top gear is applicable under favourable circumstances.

On motorway inclines you will be able not only to come along, but be the first at the top. On steep roads you have sufficient power to keep going. On hill starts there's most prabably sufficient power to get going, provided the wheels have traction.
