Frequently Asked Questions
Volkswagen offers towing capacities from 800kg to 3,500kg. Their SUV and estate models tend to offer the highest limits. Always check by registration for your exact variant.

It depends on the model and variant. Twin-axle caravans typically weigh 1,400-1,800 kg, so you'll need a Volkswagen with a braked towing limit above that weight. Check the 85% rule as well. Your caravan's MTPLM should ideally be no more than 85% of your car's kerbweight.
Many modern Volkswagen models offer factory-fit or dealer-fit detachable towbars. Check with your Volkswagen dealer or refer to the options list for your specific model year.
