Volvo XC40 1.Generation  T4 Momentum Pro AWD Geartronic

You want to use the Volvo XC40 also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this question many different aspects, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With a maximum towing capacity of 2000 kg, this motor vehicle does not have to hide. So you can also pull a horse trailer or a medium-sized caravan.
torque affects the Volvo XC40 how much the trailer load affects acceleration. Torque is available at 300 Nm, which is already a decent value and guarantees that you won't have any problems getting off the mark as a rule. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this motor vehicle distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this offer does not yet include trailer hitch and must be separately ordered.

Evaluation - is the Volvo XC40 suitable as a towing vehicle?: The car has a maximum towing capacity of 2000 kg . It can thereby be set to a maximum torque of 300 Nm access. The Volvo XC40 is therefore very suitable for just about all typical towing loads in the private sector. Horse trailers with one horse (or two if necessary) are no problem. Please note that you may need a driver's license B96 or even BE / class 3 here.
