Hey,

Just joined (link to intro viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3222).

Figured I'd ask here as more relevant, if anyone has towed with their XC40 Recharge and what the experience was like?

Not actually towed but I have used the tow bar with a bike carrier. As soon as the electrics are connected the predicted range drops by around 50%. It does then come back when it works out there is nothing heavy being pulled along. It also disables the blind spot warning and some other features I cant quite remember. As for actual towing hopefully someone else can help.

That’s pretty neat. As so few people tow it’s hard to find reviews on YouTube etc. This is the first car I’ve heard of that actually attempts to predict the range accurately once it knows it’s hooked up.
