Land Rover Discovery Sport
Towing Capacity
Discovery Sport variants tow 1,600-2,500 kg braked, depending on which model you have. Checked on braked capacity, ball weight and GCM (Gross Combination Mass), 70 caravans on the site fit that rating.
Start from the caravan instead: pick the van you like, and its page checks it against your car.
Discovery Sport towing capacity by variant
Braked towing capacity varies across the Discovery Sport range. Pick yours and the table below matches every caravan against it. Then confirm the figures against your own compliance plate.
| Variant | Braked towing | Years | GCM | GVM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,500 kg | 2020 onwards | 5,090 kg | 2,590 kg | |
| 2,200 kg | 2020 onwards | 4,790 kg | 2,590 kg | |
| 2,000 kg | 2020 onwards | 4,550 kg | 2,550 kg | |
| 1,600 kg | 2020 onwards | 4,350 kg | 2,750 kg | |
| 2,200 kg | 2015-2025 | 4,700 kg | - |
GCM (Gross Combination Mass) is the most a Discovery Sport may weigh with the caravan attached. It is a separate limit from braked towing capacity. With the family, the gear and a full tank aboard, a rig can sit inside its towing limit and still be over its GCM. GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) is the most the Discovery Sport itself may weigh loaded, and the caravan's towball download counts toward it.
How we matched these to your Discovery Sport
Every caravan below is checked against the D200 (diesel MHEV, AWD auto) (2,500 kg braked), the highest-rated Discovery Sport we list. We compare each caravan's ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass) and ball weight against that car's limits, using the same rules as our tow calculator.
- Comfortable match - the van sits inside your towing limit with room for payload.
- Close to the limit - inside your towing or ball-weight limit by less than 10%. Watch how you load it.
Some Discovery Sport variants tow as little as 1,600 kg. Pick yours in the table above and every caravan below is rechecked against it.

This is a guide off the makers' published figures.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van. Where we do not hold a published ball weight, we estimate it at 10% of ATM.Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge to know for sure, then read the ticket.

Our guides to the numbers on this page.
Check your own car's figures
Published towing figures describe a factory-standard car. A bullbar, a long-range tank or suspension changes can move your real limits. Your Discovery Sport's own figures are in its owner's manual. Cars built before July 2021 also carry them on a compliance plate in the door pillar. GCM (Gross Combination Mass) is the most the loaded car and van may weigh together, and the family and the gear count towards it. Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge.

Land Rover Discovery Sport towing questions
What can a Land Rover Discovery Sport tow?
Discovery Sport variants tow 1,600-2,500 kg braked, depending on which model you have. On the caravan side the figure to work from is ATM, the weight of the van fully loaded. Every van below is checked against your car's braked rating using the maker's published figures. Each one is marked a comfortable match or close to the limit.
What size caravan can a Land Rover Discovery Sport realistically tow?
Work from each caravan's ATM. Discovery Sport variants tow 1,600-2,500 kg braked, depending on which model you have. Leave real margin for water, gear and a loaded boot. A van compared at its empty weight will be heavier once you pack it. Then check the figures against the compliance plate on your own car.
Do all Discovery Sport variants tow the same weight?
Discovery Sport variants do not all carry the same rating. Braked towing capacity runs from 1,600 kg on lower variants up to 2,500 kg on the strongest. Each match below says when a heavier caravan needs one of the higher-rated variants.
