Macan towing ?

[AndrewCS]

I believe that towing capacities are between 2000kg and 2400kg

Has anyone used their Macan to tow these weights, which model - what did you tow - how did it perform ... please ?

I would be looking to tow a loaded twin axle car trailer

We’ve towed car trailer with a Cayenne and a Panamera both of which were superb. Infact with the cayenne it would have been very easy to forget you had a car trailer with a £100k + car on it behind you ????.


we bought a Macan Turbo Plus with a tow Hook but we never actually got around to using it for towing. So i am afraid i can’t really help.

Thank you for the reply / information Helen

My reason for asking is that I am considering parting with two cars for one, the GT4 and an M2 ... whilst still wanting something `small` and relatively `sporty`

The Panamera is a useful pointer albeit not `small` but overall less of a bulk

Think the Macan would be a much better than the Panamera as a tow car because its tow hook is set higher. We used to have to set the air suspension at its highest point in order to hook the trailer up. we also found the panamera with a car trailer made a very long vehicle to manoeuvre.
we find the Macan is such a good all round work horse that we are now on our 3rd. Went for a bog standard 2ltr one this time and have not been at all dissapointed with it. Pretty sure it would tow with no complaints.

Excellent feedback ... thank you

so i have started a thread on facebook on the "Porscheclub gb Macan register" page.

Helen,
You can upload photo files to 3,500 kB direct into your forum post. But the site will not accept files larger than this. Check your photo file size either by viewing it in File Explorer or right clicking and selecting "Properties". There are several ways of reducing a photo file size without losing any definition. Alternatively, you can upload your photo to one of the free hosting sites, then post the hyperlink back into your forum post.

Many of us have no desire to become entangled with Facebook.

Regards,

Clive

Hi

Macan S petrol, towed a Soling sailboat about 1.5 tonnes, a high CogG and 33ft long on a double axel trailer. No issues whatsoever, including some steep tight hills.
