Volvo has achieved exceptional results in the 2025 Caravan and Motorhome Club Towcar of the Year Awards, collecting five honours, including the prestigious overall Towcar of the Year title.
Bestowing the top prize on the Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid T6, the judges declared: “There’s no better towcar on sale right now.”
The all-wheel-drive mid-size SUV was further named best family towcar, best hybrid towcar and the best model for pulling caravans above 1,800kg in weight. The Volvo V90 Plug-in Hybrid T8 large estate was also rewarded, winning the 1,700kg-1,800kg caravan weight class.
The results sustain Volvo’s long-running success in the awards, with 25 honours collected over the past eight years.
Announcing the awards, the Caravan and Motorhome Club said: “The mightily impressive Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid wowed the judges with its effortless performance, towing capability, ease of driving, comfort levels and roomy interior, which is ideal for discerning caravanners.”
Rob Deane, Volvo Car UK’s Commercial Operations Director, said: “Few automotive awards subject their entrants to such close scrutiny, so to be honoured by the Caravan and Motorhome Club is a much-valued seal of approval. It rewards the importance we place on making our cars practical to own and use, as well as desirable, luxurious, safe and sustainable.”
The XC60 was praised by the judges for its luxuriousness, “cool” design and practicality that allows family-sized luggage loads to be carried. Its level stance when towing a caravan and excellent sight lines when reversing into a pitch were also commended.
The Caravan and Motorhome Club Towcar of the Year Awards are the UK’s longest-established towing awards. This year, 33 vehicles were put through their paces at the UTAC Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire. On top of each vehicle’s towing ability, their practicality, comfort and quality were also assessed by the independent judging panel, which included specialist journalists and caravanning experts.
