The ACSI FreeLife Magazine Tow Car survey also shows that most caravan owners have a vehicle with a petrol engine, but the share has fallen slightly from 68.15 per cent in the 2022 survey to 64.33 per cent now. Caravan owners also drive newer vehicles than the average car owner. The average age of the Dutch car fleet is 11.4 years, but half of the caravan owners have a car that is no more than five years old. According to the study, more than 80 percent of the towing vehicles in the Netherlands are less than ten years old. Dutch trailers are also almost all privately owned. Only 3.12 percent of caravan owners have a company car or a rental car. Another three percent have private rental construction and the rest are privately purchased.

Stylish and powerful SUVs

The Mazda CX-5 and CX-60 epitomize Japanese craftsmanship and represent everything Mazda has built into its DNA over the past 100 years. Mazda CX-5 e-Skyactiv G 194 hp has a permissible towing weight of 2,000 kg and this also applies to 165 hp with automatic transmission. Mazda CX-5 petrol engines are also equipped with Mazda M Hybrid intelligent technology as standard. The Mazda CX-60 is a Plug-in Hybrid. Thanks to the 17.8 kWh battery that supplies the electric motor with energy, the Mazda CX-60 has a combined power of 241kW (327hp). The Mazda CX-60 has a permissible towing weight of 2,500 kg. These powerful SUVs from Mazda are therefore ideal vehicles for towing, for example, a caravan, a tent trailer or a horse trailer; where daily commuting can be done by electricity.
