VW Golf VIII GTI Clubsport 45 DSG - Towing vehicle

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


torque affects the VW Golf 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.

However, this advertisement does not yet include trailer coupling and must be separately ordered.

Final assessment: Is this car suitable as a towing vehicle? Unfortunately, the VW Golf cannot be ordered with a trailer hitch, so it is also not possible to use it in trailer mode.
