Can You Tow with a Hyundai EV?

One of the fastest-growing parts of the Hyundai lineup is the Hyundai EV segment. San Diego, CA, drivers are drawn to the efficiency, eco-friendly nature, and long list of features available on these sedans and SUVs, and some of them are powerful enough to tow a light trailer or boat. Our friendly dealers at Kearny Mesa Hyundai are happy to share towing information about the new Hyundai EV lineup.
