I am not sure if it would be wise to tow 2400 kg - 5300 lbs. It seems a lot to me for these cars. I think the weight of the car is not enough for such a heavy trailer.
I have a caravan that weighs 1500 kg (3300 lbs), and the car has no trouble with that on trips to Croatia and Italy with a lot of steep highways.

European vehicle tow ratings are always higher than the US because european trailers are set up with less tongue weight than US trailers. This makes the trailer more prone to sway than a US trailer but this is less of an issue because towing speeds are generally lower in Europe.
