When it comes to a getaway across the British countryside, drivers need more than just boot space and comfort, they need uncompromising stability, muscular torque and safety. That is why motoring and touring experts at the official Tow Car Awards have consistently singled out Volvo’s elite vehicle line-up as some of the finest towing machines on the market.
From agile cross-country estates to class-leading hybrid SUVs, Volvo has built a formidable reputation at the awards. Let’s take a closer look at the standout models that have made Volvo a perennial favourite for touring enthusiasts across the UK.
Volvo XC90 (T8 Twin Engine Momentum / D5 AWD)
A true powerhouse in the heavy-weight categories, the XC90 has previously clinched prestigious titles such as Best Hybrid. With immense maximum towing weights (up to a staggering 2,700kg) and sophisticated all-wheel-drive systems, it remains the ultimate luxury cruiser for large families and heavy tourers who refuse to compromise on space or pulling muscle.
Volvo XC40 (D4 AWD R-Design Pro)
Praised by judges as Best Family SUV, this compact yet remarkably capable XC40 punches well above its weight. It successfully combines nimble handling for everyday driving with massive pulling confidence when you hook up the caravan for a weekend escape.
Volvo V40 Cross Country (Green Award)
Proving that efficiency, low emissions, and towing capability can go hand-in-hand, the V40 secured a prestigious Green Award. It showcased how smaller vehicle footprints can still master mid-weight towing tasks brilliantly while keeping environmental impact and fuel consumption to a minimum.
Volvo V60 & V90 Cross Country Series
For drivers who prefer the sleek, grounded dynamics of a classic estate car without losing ground clearance or towing muscle, Volvo’s Cross Country models have continuously delivered.
