Does anyone tow a caravan with their XV? What does it tow like? Thinking of rejoining the mobile roadblock brigade, and must decide on using the XV (when it arrives) or the girlfriend's Hyundai.

Get out!!!!!

 

only joking, no I don't tow a caravan, petrol or diesel? I imagine the diesel will have more low end grunt.

 

Only thing I would say is with Subarus tendency towards their cars having clutch shudder I'm not sure how or if that would affect it. certainly never seen an XV towing anything but imagine it could, it has kerb weights in the manual.

It will be the petrol CVT, which has a 1200Kg limit (less for 80% calculation), so it will only be a small caravan. Looks like it is the g/f who will be getting a towbar fitted, as her wagon is much heavier and bigger

The cvt doesn't have clutch shudder so that wouldn't be an issue, it's only on the manual. The bigger car would probably be the better choice

Use the girlfriend's Hyundai. ;)

as Gambit said lol

Hyundai it is, and will help to keep my mileage down, to keep within the PCP mileage limit of my XV!
