VW Golf VIII R 4MOTION DSG - Towing vehicle

Can the VW Golf 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.


For the VW Golf gthe torque indicates how well it can handle heavy loads - the rule here is: a lot helps a lot.. Torque is available at 420 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 advertisement does not yet include trailer coupling and must be separately ordered.

Final assessment: Is this automobile 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.
