The 5 Most Economical Towing Vehicle

5Peugeot 2008

Peugeot is known for its impressive products, and its 2008 model is no different. The Peugeot 2008 is an SUV you can buy with your heart and your head. It looks cool, is cheap to run, easy to drive and has a big boot.

This SUV has a towing capacity of 1,200kg when equipped with the automatic 1.5-liter diesel engine. Also, if your choice is a petrol engine, this economical vehicle will offer you up 1,250kg towing capacity with the 1.2-liter PureTech petrol engine.

4Suzuki Jimny

Sitting on the fourth position of our most economical towing vehicles is the Suzuki Jimny, which is the smallest vehicle on the list. While this does not have the size of other economical towing vehicles, it has one of the best tow capacities you would come across – 1,300kg. Also, while you don’t have the choices of engines, the 1.5-liter petrol engine comes with the options of an automatic or manual gearbox. Jimmy standards out of other towing vehicles, thanks to not only its impressive tow capacity but also to its great styling.

However, Jimmy does not rank well in terms of the number of seats and boot space, as it has only four seats and small boot space.

3Honda HR-V

Honda is denied the credit it deserves. This is a manufacturer of cars and SUVs that are blends of a reliable everyday car and towing vehicles, but most people are not aware of its great products. For example, the Honda HR-V is an economical and practical vehicle for an everyday ride and an excellent SUV for towing.

This model comes in two options: the diesel and turbo petrol engines. While the petrol engine has a towing capacity of 1,000kg, the diesel engine can tow up to 1,400kg.

2Jeep Renegade

While the renegade still maintains the capabilities of a Jeep, it is smaller, more desirable, and affordable than most Jeeps in town.

With this economical vehicle for towing, you have up to 1,500kg towing capacity at your disposal. Not only this, but the vehicle is also a great one for those who cherish vehicles with high off-road abilities. For those who want the best dragging ability, the diesel-engine models will be an ideal choice with either an automatic or a manual gearbox.

1Volkswagen Golf

Volkswagen Golf is our number one vehicle to consider when looking for an economical vehicle with impressive towing capacity. While this is regarded as a compact towing vehicle, it offers a towing capacity of up to 1,800kg.

However, it is important to pay attention to the models you choose, as not every Volkswagen Golf can be trusted for high tow capacity. The rule here is to look for one with a big engine. Studies have shown that the bigger the engine of a Volkswagen vehicle, the higher the towing capacity. Also, a diesel engine will be a great choice for towing.

If your choice is a petrol engine, the 2.0-liter petrol GTI models can offer the same capacity as the diesel models. You can also expect up to 1,500kg towing capacity from the small TSI petrol engines.
