Do you want to tow with the Kia Niro?
The KIA Niro does tow. Mine does. The towing option is available from KIA in Germany and probably in other EU countries too.
Yes, I have the towing option too, however my dealer told me it is a factory option and cannot be fitted as a dealer or aftermarket option, presumably due to uprated brakes and cooling rather than anything else. I only really wanted it for the future probability of using a cycle carrier anyway.
But people have already established that the towing option is not available in the UK, so us having it does not really change much for them.

Okay, so now I am really confused. My 2017 Niro 2, UK specification, was delivered last week.
I was having a read through the manual earlier this evening and it clearly states that for the European specification, you can tow with your vehicle and sets a limit of 600kg unbraked or 1000kg braked.
Suffice it to say, this contradicts what I was expecting but makes me even more curious to find out what the hell is going on.

Somewhere on the car there will be a weight plate with four figures on it. They are usually on one of the door shuts. The top weight will be the gross vehicle weight, the next is the gross train weight (the total of vehicle & trailer combined) & the bottom 2 are the max front & rear axle loads.djbobbins wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2017 10:10 pm Okay, so now I am really confused.

If the 2nd figure is either the same as the first or n/a then the car is not homogulated to tow.
