Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles celebrates double win at the 2025 Towcar of the Year Awards

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles had a strong showing at the 2025 Towcar of the Year Awards, with the Amarok named best ‘Pick-up’ and the Volkswagen Multivan taking home the ‘Large Family Towcar’ title for the third consecutive year.

The awards, now in their 42nd year, are judged by an independent panel of expert reviewers. This year, thirty-three entrants were tested, and only the top vehicles in each category were recognised.

The Multivan was praised for its spacious, flexible interior, comfortable ride, and car-like manoeuvrability, making towing and reversing simple. Caravan and Motorhome Club said: “This is the third year running that the Multivan has walked off with a Large Family Towcar category win, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a great vehicle, being easy to drive and park, well-mannered on different road types and simply enormous inside. The interior can be configured in various ways, boosting flexibility too. The 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel is a good engine. If you need space, the Multivan can’t be beaten.”

The Amarok won the ‘Pick-up’ category, impressing judges with its versatility. It functions as a hardworking vehicle during the week and a comfortable towcar on weekends. With towing capabilities of up to 3.5 tonnes, the Amarok is perfect for both work and leisure, on or off the road.

Caravan and Motorhome Club commented: “Its upmarket looks are matched to an equally upmarket interior, which shows pick-ups don’t have to be unrefined and agricultural. It has good on-road manners, is hugely capable off-road, and tows with serious competency. The 3.0-litre V6 diesel is punchy, and the ride is decent when hitched.”
