Citroen XM - D12 with a Avondale

Ed Tarwinski reviewed a Citroen XM - D12 (61 Kw/82 bhp). Modelyear: april 1990 - july 1994) and a Avondale Eagle of 1350 kg.

The towing capability for this outfit is:
= 83%* = 86 km/u = 9%

When I first collected the caravan (loaded with awning and accessories) realised the car was having to work quite hard on the slopes and hills, but it was a windy day. I had to switch off the cruise control a few times to avoid the engine working at maximum. But I think it will be fine if I avoid big mountain climbs. My XM is a 2.1 turbo diesel estate/wagon (82kW) with 4-speed automatic, and the caravan has some heavy extras like a safe and air-conditioning.
