Practical Caravan awarded third place in the 1,575-1,724kg class of this year’s Towcar Awards to the Exeo ST 2.0 TDI CR 170PS, behind the Skoda Superb Estate and Peugeot 5008 2.0 HDi 150 Sport.
The judges said the Exeo ST “was an appealing alternative” to other estates in its class, and was “well equipped and good value”. The panel were also “happy with the SEAT’s high-speed stability” and “the powerful 2.0-litre diesel engine had no trouble pulling to the top of the test hill.”
Practical Caravan claims its awards, backed by What Car? and The Camping and Caravanning Club, are “the UK’s most vigorous and thorough towcar assessment programme”. Each car is tested by a panel of six judges for its towing ability, buying and owning costs, drive quality when not towing and practicality.
