Posted on 08/11/2021 08:29 by cyberyachtDifferent rig but I had a 136BHP 2009 Euro 4 Kuga, albeit 2L towing 1350Kg. An additional 100Kg wouldn't make much difference, it's air drag that really affects performance. More modern engines give a much improved "bag for your buck". How much of a hurry are you in?

Posted on 07/11/2021 22:30 by Wanderer19TBI have just bought the 136bhp mild hybrid diesel 2021 AWD auto towing a 1500 kg Coachman Vision. Having towed with. 170 bop Mercedes C class I was a bit cautious on bhp drop. The sportage is lovely, plenty of power , even on hills. Sometimes forget the caravan is on the back. Sport mode is good at roundabouts to stop lag. So smooth and comfortable and stable. Thoroughly recommend it, and I am getting 30 mpg towing. Bought a seven year service plan that equals one Mercedes’ main dealer service

towing with sportage 28-32mpg. solo tends to average 45-50. so comparible with the merc, but nowhere run in yet. Solo not done a steady run, and then checked it, merc could get up to 60mpg. if you can find a 2 litre try one to compare it to the 1.6, but i was nicely surprised how good 1.6 is . the AWD and auto push the kerbside weight up to 1700kg
