Is anyone towing with an XC40 plug in hybrid ? Looking at a 2023 T5 recharge. And before any queries, I am currently a Motorhomer !!! 😂

    Hi. We got a T4 Recharge PHEV in Nov'24, so T5 will have a bit more bhp and torque. So far, only towed 50 miles in Kent (a fair bit of bendy roads, zero motorway miles), pulling a Coachman VIP 460. We are newbies, but all seemed okay - mainly in Hybrid, occasionally electric. We had extensive discussions with Volvo sales & technical before and after purchase re towing capabilities. Went with T4 as towing economy slightly better on paper than T5. Nearly all non-towing mileage is local, so 90% electric mode. Lovely car to drive without the van and, so far, no worries when towing (but we are new to caravanning, so hopefully others with more experience will respond).
