We had a 2.0 litre diesel Hyundai ix35 which was the cousin of the
Kia Sportage, and we towed a 1249kg caravan. It towed it very well but unless the new 1.6 are a lot better, I would be a bit wary of towing too much with it and if you have the option, getting the 2l might be better. Our current caravan is 1550 and we tow with a 2.2 Kia Sorento.
However, if you are set on the 1.6, to be legal you cannot go over the towing limit of 1600kg and it is advisable but not essential to try to stay under 85% of the kerbweight so if your kerbweight is 1605 then try to stay about 1364kg mtplm for the caravan.
