Indeed, all Bettles available in Britain (we don't get the V5 model) are given a 1000kg (2200lb) braked and 600kg (1320lb) unbraked trailer capacity, but please beware they also get a maximum hitch weight of 75kg (165lb).
To Merkan eyes, that seems very low (only 7.5% of maximum trailer weight) but it is actually quite generous by Yurpeen standards - some big SUVs get hitch weight limits well under 5% of their towing weight, which would be considered unsafe in the US, I think.
I see T@b's web site gives hitch weights of 110-155lb, though these are for the base models.
