Opel Astra K 1.2 DI Turbo Edition - Towing vehicle

Can the Opel Astra also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this issue the motor vehicle 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 Automobiles is given as 1350 kg and is thus quite sufficient for the "normal consumer". You can pull a small caravan with it, and also sometimes the moving trailer.
torque affects the Opel Astra how much the trailer load affects acceleration.

The basic prerequisite - the trailer hitch - is given, because a corresponding device is already included in this offer.

Evaluation - is the Opel Astra suitable as a towing vehicle?: The vehicle has a maximum towing capacity of 1350 kg and has a maximum torque of 225 Nm. You can manage quite well in everyday life, but you should only pull heavy equipment over short distances because the torque alone is a bit tight and you run the risk of slowing down traffic considerably.
