best hybrid cars for towing a caravan

Want a hybrid to tow a caravan? Sensible move—unless you enjoy funding servo pie warmers. Most regular hybrids are fine for lighter vans, but the standouts are larger PHEVs and sturdier hybrid SUVs. For smaller caravans and campers, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid can do the job when you stay within their braked tow and towball download limits. If you’re nudging heavier tourers, consider premium PHEVs like the Volvo XC60/90 Recharge—which typically carry higher tow ratings and beefier cooling—or stick with a good diesel. Whatever you pick, confirm braked tow limit, GVM/GCM and towball download, fit an electric brake controller, and remember payload counts (yes, people and eskies too). Then take a proper tow test and trawl Tradingpost for rigs already wearing bars, wiring and mirrors.
