VW Sharan

Hi, has anyone got an experience of towing with a VW sharan, It's a 1.9 tdi on a 54 plate. The caravan I want to buy is an adria altea 542 dk - not sure what the sharan will be like at towing
 
Hi 96kW converts to 128bhp. Again you would have to check your specific models details but it looks like you will have unladen weight of about 1680kg with a towing limit of 2000kg

Again you haven't actually told us the MTPLM of the caravan, but the 2010 according to a Practical Caravan article suggests the model has an MTPLM of 1300kg

All this suggest the weight ratios should be fine (circa 77%). The power output should also be fine.

I tow with a Renault Espace with a 115bhp, and whilst it won't show a Buggati Veyron a clean pair of heels it does tow very competently. I would guess that the Sharan also being a similar large MPV will also be a competent tow vehicle.

Happy towing
