Need a comfortable car for towing

I am looking to replace my Audi A6 Avant diesel as I want to upgrade my racing car trailer, which would have a weight of 2000 to 2200kg when fully loaded. This is outside the towing capacity of the A6.

I don't want a commercial type vehicle as it has to also be a family transport. My budget is £30,000, including trade in of the A6 which has a good level of spec. What are my options?

One car: Current model KIA Sorento KX2 Nav manual. 40mpg at 70. 2,500kg towing limit. Very comfortable. Seriously underrated.
