Any vehicle capable of towing 2500kg is going to require a relatively powerful engine, so they are never going to offer high levels of economy. However, we would suggest looking at the Hyundai Santa Fe or Kia Sorento with the 2.2-litre CRDi engine, as these models can tow up to 2500kg and are available within your budget.

Relaxed motorway cruising. Comfortable ride. Excellent on very rough tracks. Available with seven seats. Good value. Much improved from 2010 with new 2.2-litre diesel.
