Mini countryman Cooper All4 diesel? - Towing with mini? - TriciaA

I'm wondering if anyone knows the towing capacity of a mini all4.

I'm considering purchasing a small 2 birth caravan (unladen weight 1.198kg

Ive use a website that matches cars with caravans, however, I'm getting conflicting information. At present I have a Countryman one and obviously, I'll not be able to tow with this.

Many thanks

Tricia

Towing capacities will be on the Mini website. From personal experience not all Minis can tow, the location of the exhaust and/or rear fog light can prevent a tow bar being fitted.

If you are going to tow and need to swap cars why not buy a more suitable one than a Mini. AWD is not essential, I coped with 2 Golfs from 1989 to 2002, both were front wheel drive and had to tow about 1200kg. The petrol was fine, the diesel was better despite being less powerful. I would expect a modern turbo petrol to be brilliant.
