Looking for a good towing vehicle for horse-box or caravan?

We currently have a Touran 2.0 diesel and an old Sharan 2.0 petrol.
The Sharan is due to be replaced, and I'd like to find a replacement that would be suitable for towing a horse box or caravan.

As we are used to the high driving position, we'd like to keep that feature.
Winter capability would be desirable.
