Mitsubishi ASX - 1.8 Di-D hp [AWD] (110 kW/148 bhp)
Date of manufacture: june 2010 - up to now
73%
1170 kg 1600 kg
The match between car and caravan is perfect in accordance with a mix of European standards. However, according to the British Towing Code the percentage (loaded caravan / kerbweight tow car) is
73%.
The towing performances of this Mitsubishi with your Knaus are perfect (performance index = 104 km/h or 65 mph).
You may expect excellent performances from this outfit. On flat roads it's easy to come along, in which case top gear is applicable in most cases.
On motorway inclines you will be able not only to come along, but be the first at the top. On steep roads you have more than sufficient power to keep going. On hill starts there will be more than enough power to get going, provided the wheels have traction.
