VW Polo VI 1.0 TSI OPF IQ.Drive DSG (7-Gang) - Towing vehicle

Can the VW Polo also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this issue the car 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.

The maximum towing capacity of this cars is given as 1000 kg and is thus quite sufficient for the "normal consumer". You can pull a small caravan with it, and also sometimes the moving trailer.
The torque is at the VW Polo decisive for acceleration even under load - the more torque the better!

. With 175 Nm, it does not have much torque. If you charge a lot, you have to be patient during acceleration.

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

Evaluation - is the VW Polo suitable as a towing vehicle?: The car has a maximum towing capacity of 1000 kg and has a maximum torque of 175 Nm. You can manage quite well in everyday life, but you should only pull heavy equipment over short distances because the torque alone is a bit tight and you run the risk of slowing down traffic considerably.
