Mercedes CLA 118 Shooting Brake 250 e 8G-DCT - Towing vehicle

Can the Mercedes CLA also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this topic the car must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

The maximum towing capacity of this cars is given as 1600 kg and is thus quite sufficient for the "normal consumer". You can pull a small caravan with it, and also sometimes the moving trailer.
For the Mercedes CLA gthe torque indicates how well it can handle heavy loads - the rule here is: a lot helps a lot.. 450 Nm. This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration.

However, this deal does not yet include trailer coupling and must be additionally ordered.
