VW Arteon 1.Generation Shooting Brake 2.0 TDI SCR Elegance 4MOTION DSG - Towing vehicle

Can the VW Arteon also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this question the automobile 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.

With a maximum towing capacity of 2200 kg, this automobile does not have to hide. So you can also pull a horse trailer or a medium-sized caravan.
torque affects the VW Arteon how much the trailer load affects acceleration. Torque is available at 400 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 car distributes the power over all four wheels.

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

Evaluation - is the VW Arteon suitable as a towing vehicle?: The car pulls ordinary 2200 kg . It can thereby be set to a maximum torque of 400 Nm access. The VW Arteon 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.
