I�m looking at getting a Volvo XC40 2.0l petrol to tow a 1450kg caravan. Does anyone tow with one if so what are the good and bad things with this vehicle.
Thanks in advance

I just looked at a new XC40 to tow our van with similar weight, and thought it was cramped uncomfy, and small and boxy.
Now looking at the Mazda CX5, Hyundai Tuscon, Kia Sportage, and the Nissan X-trail.
Cannot comment on towing as not got one.

Thanks for that I haven’t /even able to look at them yet as I am in Spain. I am surprised that you say they are small inside. I am open to all suggestions both for and against.

Hi we have the BMW x1 at present, and are measuring against this, which is not entirely large, but seems more roomy than the XC40. have jsut test drove a Hyundai Tucson hybrid and found this to be plenty roomy, the CX5 we looked at also was plenty roomy.
getting into the XC40 i banged my head on the drivers door surround, and was incredibly uncomfy even just in the show room.
Also going to look at the nissan xtrail in a week or two.

Thanks for that I didn’t realise that it was so small.

Hi not saying it is small (XC40) as it looks to be a big car, it just seemed it to us.

An update. We have finally decided on a 2.0l Ford Kuga hybrid. It is petrol and electric but is self charging.

We have a Motobility 70 reg diesel at the moment which is the best tow car we’ve had apart from a new 54 plate Hyundai Santa Fe. The one we are getting can tow 1600kg which is ok for us as our van is 1450kg. We hopefully pick our new one up in September.
