Per the title, does anyone out there tow with a Discovery Sport Petrol Plug In Hybrid ?

If so, what do you tow how does it tow?

Is there anything that I should be looking out for ?

Appreciate your responses.

    Is that the model with a maximum towing limit of 1600kg.?

    I've not purchased the car yet - but I'm looking at something like a P250 AWD Auto R-Dynamic which (according to the Club's Outfit Matching Tool) has a towing limit of 2,000 Kg

    But I’m looking at the towing limit stated by the manufacturer.

    I suspect that we are not comparing like for like.

    Bear with me, I'll get back to you

    JLR make what are the always amongst the best cars for towing. Nothing that tows badly has ever carried the RR badge and I would have confidence this one will be no different, Whatever other shortfalls they have, towing ability is never going to be one.

    My earlier post about the towing limit for the DS Plug In Hybrid is not correct.

    JLR have stated that "The Maximum towing on the P300e which is 1600kg" - as Eurotraveller had stated. My apologies.

    However, has anyone towed with one of these ? 

    I have a Coachman Pastiche 575 (2019) which has an MTPLM of 1525 Kg and a MIRO of 1370 Kg.

    Anyone see any problems ?

    Yes, please - but I suspect a typo.
