Beware some lower tow limits on Eco models.

Which engine is that and whats your intended max tow weight?

Towing 1400 with a car weighing 1600 should be ok but you need to check the weights of the actual car. The Passat did win tow car awards a few times so perhaps a quick look at Tow Car of the Year Awards might be worthwhile, some of the tests may be on You Tube as well.

I don't know what year caravan you are looking at but I would have thought that a Challenger 585 would be heavier than that so the caravan weight needs checking as well. I did have a quick look for a Challenger 585 earlier but I couldn't find a 6 berth model. If you can give a year for the caravan I can have another look for you.

If a 1.9 tdi 105 bhp superb can tow that van,without hardly noticing the van is on the back, a 140 cr. VW certainly will tow it all day long
