Hello everyone ...Mixed discussion .. Went out today to trade in my trusted trouble free E350 Coupe Mercedes which I have owned for the last 9 years. I recently changed my caravan to a 2020 Swift Challenger 560 and after a couple of outings my Coupe was not exactly built for towing. So sourced a Volvo XC70 D5 at our local Arnold Clark Dealership on a 2014 with I think 59,000 miles on the clock. Unfortunately being the Nirvana tow car it held the price of 17 and a half big ones. Quite steep for the age of car. Any who the Mrs didn't like it one bit and much preferred the 2020 Renault Koleos already fitted with a detachable tow bar and electrics with 29,000 miles on the clock for 3 grand dearer. Checked the towing capacity and with in range . Its the 1.7 dci GT Line not the 2 litre. So the golden question anyone tow with the 1.7dci 2 wheel drive XTronic ? Mixed reviews to be honest. Looks the part with all the toys but might be slightly under powered being used to big torque.....
