Don't see why not. It's like any other AWD car with automatic trasmission. Not sure if you can tow an AWD car tho. My guess you would put it in neutral? You gotta be able to tow any car no?

GLK 350 4matic

There are threads in other forum about this topic. The concern was that with auto transmission, there will be mechanical damage when lub system is not running during towing. I was under impression that the transmission gears are still in motion even in neutral. Manual transmission will be a totally different story, it can be towed w/o problem.

I thought i read somewhere in the manual (or not) where only flatbed towing is recommended.
