Weak when towing in low speed

[greendwarf]

Hi Anko,
So where is this torque measured then? The interesting torque needed in this situation is at the wheels in the lowest gear at very slow speed to pull the boat trailer up.

I guess a practical test is more interesting to hear about than any numbers. For instance; how steep can a PHEV climb fully loaded? Is it steeper or less steep than a diesel Outlander or Volvo? That could give an indication what to expect.

Is this steep enough for you :?:

We'll, sure that is self evident. I probably should have said variable gear box

I think we all know that with this car, very little is self evident to very few. Any idea how many people, including owners, still believe this car has a CVT? :lol:
