Not the new superb, its well capable with the 140 tdi CR engine, Bessie, go and check the figures before you try to be clever, actually the Octavia 140 or 170 TDI CR will also tow it
Superb 140 tdi

Kerbweight 1472

Bob not being clever the line in red says it all, his caravan is 1577 kg thats almost 100 kgs more than the skoda's kerbweight  would you tow that outfit ???

Going of your calculations i should of got a focus to tow my 1500 kg coachman

Greendemon315 i agree the only option the op has is to do the test

All of them still puts them over the limit with that caravan though.

I doubt there is a car thats heavy enough to tow it and also below the gross limit required.

How many actualy load there vans to the (MTPLM though, I expect that many would be between the MTPLM and the MIRO

I doubt if many will ever weigh there vans loaded , and I can bet that many are overloaded judging by what comes out when they arrive on site.

This spreadsheet is what i use with my van as you can see 134 kg and no clothes in yet

Bob it's not, somebody on here told me that so i checked with Coachman, and they confirmed its not part of the MIRO. and the battery you have to get yourself hence different amp choices.

It's so easy to tot up the weight without even trying, my spreadsheet is caravan typical for main summer holiday

If you dont want a 4x4 type then you wont go to far wrong with an smax.

We have the 2.2 version which has plenty of poke to spare but the 2.0 versions also pack a punch..

Hey bob you been busy handing over all those 13 reg skoda's   you've not been around all march

Biffor the skoda is a great tow car but is to light for your coachman, stick with the s max or get the 4x4 skoda
