Many British drivers assume that any SUV can tow a family caravan, but the official figures say otherwise. This video reveals ten popular SUVs, including the Qashqai e-Power, BYD Atto 3 and Toyota C-HR, whose rated towing limits fall below the weight of a standard 1,500 kg caravan. It explains the numbers that matter, such as the braked limit and the caravan's loaded weight, and shows why some electric and hybrid models tow far less than their petrol or diesel relatives. It closes with simple advice: check the figure on your own car before buying a caravan, and match the two properly.
