Can you suggest a really good tow car?
I am self employed and run a touring caravan hire company, so I tow caravans up to 25,000 miles per year. Max weight of caravans towed is 1900kg and economy is paramount to profitability. Can you suggest a suitable car?

KIA Sorento 2.2 R-Type diesel KX-2 Nav. Tows up to 2500kg, yet does 40mpg cruising at 70 solo. Alternatively, the previous shape Mitsubishi Outlander with the chain cam 2.3 litre Mitsubishi diesel engine. That can do 45mpg cruising solo. Don't have any figures for towing consumption.

Strong diesels including impressive 2.2-litre. Comes with seven seats. New six-speed automatic. More premium feel than previous Sorento. Great value for money.
