VW Golf VIII Variant 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.

With a maximum towing capacity of 1900 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 VW Golf how much the trailer load affects acceleration. 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 automobile distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this offer does not yet include trailer coupling and must be ordered in addition.

However, this particular offer is an immediately available vehicle that does not have a trailer hitch installed. It is therefore not suitable for use in trailer operation. However, this automobile may be available as an order vehicle with trailer hitch, so be sure to also check new vehicle offers on our website.
