This video is all about towing with the Kia EV6. We look at how to attach the towing mirrors (NB - check no part of the towing mirror will damage the car when you lock it and mirrors retract), an in-depth look at the towbar and how to attach the removable towbar, where to attach the breakaway cable, hitching up including using the reversing camera, and finally what it is like to drive when towing the caravan, focussing on the driver experience.
