Will need to go and hitch up to see what happens.
I notice in the printed supplement to the handbook, it states " To facilitate towing a trailer on a car with air suspension, select a) Dynamic driving mode or b) the Suspension control➡️Dynamic setting in Individual drive mode. I guess this is to try to get it to lower???
I also see it states " the cars system for level control endeavours to maintain a constant height regardless of load(up to the maximum permissible weight).
Thus, I guess whether the car is laden or unladen, will make no difference to the height of the towbar as it will be kept constant by the air suspension.

Been reading this with interest. I have a 2018.5 XC90 R Design Pro (so with air suspension) and regularly tow a 2000kg MTPLM twin axle caravan. I tow in standard (Comfort?) mode and use the easy entry/exit setting for the suspension. When suspension at its low position (ie before starting engine) the caravan sits low at the front. Once up to standard height the caravan sits dead level (just as it did on my previous Touareg) and have had no issues at all with it.
