Tomorrow afternoon the 2018 Caravan And Motorhome Club Towcar Awards will take place in London. The annual event will be held at The Royal Autocar Club, Pall Mall, and Caravan Times will be in attendance.

The award ceremony is to find out what the best car, across several categories, is the best for towing your leisure vehicle. The categories that are tested are: acceleration, brakes (including parking brake), reversing, driver ergonomics, hill start, visibility, traction and stability of gear box. Each car is put forward by the manufacturers and judged by caravan journalists, national motoring journalists and club members who provide an informative examination of each vehicle.

The 2017 awards saw top three brands take awards home in all different categories. BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes all won awards. With VW taking the top award at the event, being labelled The Towcar of the Year. The VW model that won was the Volkswagen Passat Estate Alltrack 2.0TDI 4MOTION 150PS

This year will be the 35th anniversary of the awards and looks to be the biggest yet and we will be there to give full coverage. Stay tuned for all the news from the show.
