Caravan and Motorhome Club Towcar of the Year 2022

The industry’s longest standing towcar testing awards, Caravan and Motorhome Club Towcar of the Year 2022, saw the Seat Leon impress the judges around UTAC’s Millbrook Proving Ground’s demanding and unique track. Thirty two entrants were put into caravan weight categories – rather than being listed by price – to make it easier for buyers to know which cars could tow their caravans. Cars were entered into classes using their 85% kerbweight figure or by their towing limit, whichever was the lower. The competition had seven weight classes, two Family Towcar categories as well as Pick-Up, Electric and Plug in Hybrid categories. The complete winners’ line-up is as follows: Caravan Weight Under 1100kg & Electric Vehicles: ŠKODA Enyaq iV 80 Lounge 82 kWh 204 PS DSG Caravan Weight 1100 – 1200kg & Overall Winner: SEAT Leon Estate FR 1.5TSI 150PS Caravan Weight 1200 – 1300kg: Volkswagen Golf R-Line 2.0 TDI 150PS DSG Caravan Weight 1300–1400kg: Nissan Qashqai Tekna+ (Xtronic) Caravan Weight 1400–1500kg: Volkswagen Arteon Shooting Brake R-Line 2.0 TDI 200PS DSG Caravan Weight 1500–1700kg: Volvo XC40 Recharge pure electric AWD Caravan Weight Over 1700kg: Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid 8-Speed Tiptronic S Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles: Volvo V60 Recharge plug-in hybrid T6 AWD Family Towcar: Ford Kuga ST-Line X Diesel mhev Large Family Towcar: Ford S-Max FHEV ST-Line Pick-up: SsangYong P Musso Rhino Auto The Seat Leon is a great all-round family estate. The judges loved the spritely, 1.5-litre TSi petrol engine, which worked well with the 7-speed auto gearbox. On the faster sections of the route it remained calm and composed, while on hilly, twistier roads it felt agile, the engine coping really well with the inclines. There’s plenty of room on offer and the cabin is comfortable. The decent-sized boot impressed the caravanability judges, accommodating all our touring equipment. Nick Lomas, Director General of the Caravan and Motorhome Club said, “With the rise in popularity of the staycation, it’s more important than ever that the Club continues to provide qualified and unbiased information for it’s one million members to help them to find the right towcar for their needs. We’ve also been receiving an increasing number of enquiries about the technicalities and practicalities of towing with hybrid and electric vehicles so it’s fantastic news we are seeing a boom in competition entrants and winners in these categories.”
