VW up! 1.Generation cross 1.0 TSI - Towing vehicle

Can the VW up! 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.


For the VW up! gthe torque indicates how well it can handle heavy loads - the rule here is: a lot helps a lot.. With 160 Nm, it does not have much torque. If you charge a lot, you have to be patient during acceleration.

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

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