lots of confushion around the towing capacity of the Tucson plug-in Hybrid and with mine on order and due in october I need to clarify
Before ordering this version the offical site had the towing capicity for a braked trailer as 1350/1650 and after many enquiries Hyundai informed me this is correct and is because on Battery power only the TC is 1350kgs but with the petrol engine engaged the limit rises to 1650kgs ..On the strength of this i have ordered the car but when I look on the same site now its TC is 1350kgs..Anyone got one of these and have the offical figure stated on the car or in its handbook?

My manual says 1350 for the PHEV and 1650 for the HEV. My guess is it's the difference in battery weights for the suspension (but that's only a guess).
