The T5 is plated to 3080kg from memory so why the T7 is 100kg less is ???

Because it’s underpinnings are based on a large car rather than a van.

Does anyone know definitively what the payload is on a T7 California Ocean hybrid? For camping use it will just be my wife and I. However, two or three times a year it will be family transport to an apartment in the Alps taking my wife and I, two adult size teens and a dog. Total weight maybe 320kgs. I am sure I read somewhere that payload on the hybrid is under 300kgs. If that’s true I do wonder if its a no go for us and we might have to get a diesel.

Hello PipPip.
Just wondering what fuel type vehicle you ended up with ?
Thanks

Most hybrid vehicles of that size have an increased GVW.....and do not carry camping equipment. The Touareg is 3020 / BMW at 3240 and FFRR at 3450 (with an unladen weight less than the T7)......
