Fitting Towbar to 2023 Karoq

Currently on a 9yr old Audi A4, I am looking to move to an SUV style car - without the annoying eTSI VAG engines. I was impressed by a test drive in a 23 reg Karoq SE L 1.5 TSI 150 PS DSG yesterday.

I currently have a rather expensive Thule 2-bike towball mounted bike carrier - so would obviously want to fit a towbar to any Karoq I may purchase. None of the Karoqs which I have on my shortlist appears to have towbar preparation. Having done some online research, I cannot believe an issue that I (think) I have found...

It appears that Skoda UK will not approve fitting of a towbar (I like the Westfalia Detachable type) to the Karoq without also changing the radiator grille and fan. Is this actually the case - anyone actually done this, any advice or comments?

My main concern is invalidating any Approved Used warranty that I get...

It would appear that Skoda are concerned that any towing by a Karoq can cause overheating - unless modifications are made to the vehicle. Of course, I won't be towing anything...

Who would market a utility vehicle that can't tow without expensive modifications!

Are my thoughts unreasonable..? 🤔
