Can a Kia Seltos tow
an Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes Aliner?

S / Sport (2.0L CVT) (2019), checked against the manufacturer's published figures.

Close to the limits

The Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes Aliner's published ATM of 1,080kg sits 20kg under the Kia Seltos's 1,100kg braked towing rating.

With the Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes Aliner loaded to its ATM, the Kia Seltos's 2,800kg GCM leaves 1,720kg for the car itself, its passengers and everything in it.

Possible, but close to the limits

Loaded to its published ATM, the Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes Aliner uses all but 20kg of what the Kia Seltos is rated to tow, so there is little room left for what you pack.

This is a guide off published figures, not a compliance check.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van. Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge to know for sure, then read the ticket.

That comparison uses the Kia Seltos's and the Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes Aliner's own manufacturer figures, with nothing estimated that we could look up instead. Where a figure is an estimate rather than a published number, the page says so beside it.

Always check your compliance plate

Online databases use factory-standard specs. They don't know about your bullbar (adds weight), suspension upgrades (can change GCM), or how much you're carrying.

How to find it

Open your passenger or driver door. Look for a silver or black metal plate riveted to the pillar. This plate overrides everything you read online.

Why the numbers move once you load up

The figure most often left out of the sum is payload, which is everything you add after the vehicles leave the factory.

  • • Bullbar and winch: both add weight to the front of the car, and it comes out of your payload.
  • • Passengers: everyone in the car comes out of its payload, not just the driver.
  • • Tow ball mass: this comes out of your car's payload, not just your towing limit.

Always weigh your rig fully loaded.

Where to get it weighed, and what the ticket tells you.

This pairing is inside the published ratings, with not much room left.

Improve your stability

The published weights sit close together here. A weight distribution hitch spreads some of the towball load onto the car's front axle, which is what the ball weight takes off it.

Check another combination

Treat this as a guide off published figures, not a compliance check.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van, and where we do not hold a published ball weight we estimate it at 10% of ATM.Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge to know for sure, then read the ticket.

These are factory figures for a standard vehicle. A bullbar, a winch, a second battery or a full water tank all come out of what you have left to carry.
