I would imagine it tows quite similarly to my diesel saloon - and that is fine. It is a good stable platform and enough power. I have since I last towed added a Synergy 2 and serviced several items to improve power, which should make it even better for power output.

I tow a trailer tent so it's only about 350-400kg, but it's easy to forget it's there and be surprised when I see something bouncing about in the rear view mirror!
The 75 is highly regarded on the caravanning web sites.
See this one with owners opinions towing various models of van.

My caravan tows very well, It weighs 1250kg. The only time the engine seems to notice the extra weight is in first and second gear when pulling away from stop. Able to cruise at 60mph in 5th gear.
