Which SUV is best for towing a caravan?

I am looking to purchase a new diesel SUV for towing a caravan. All the new models in dealers' showrooms at the moment show Euro 5 emissions. I understand that all new diesels will have to comply with Euro 6 regulation from September 2015. Do you know when manufacturers will be introducing compliant engines for any of these cars?

A Mazda CX-5 2.2 diesel has been EU6 for at least two years and is EU6 without requiring the addition of AdBlue. I don't yet know how Toyota, Honda and Hyundai will meet the new standard. Mercedes and VAG use AdBlue.
