Buying a new (second hand) towing car.

Saloon? Estate? SUV? Budget? 😉

Kia have longer 7 year warranties so a 2 year old will still have quite a bit left on it so have a look at the Sorrento/Sportage? 

Perhaps you would be better off by identifying a car that you like, and can afford, and thenresearching  whether or not it is a decent tow car.

Your question is too broad to elicit meaningful answers.

We do prefer an SUV car. We would like to hear what car you are towing with and how pleased or otherwise you are with it.

We have a large twin axle, which we have almost always towed with a Discovery. Initially we had a Freelander (one of the first ones) and it struggled.

The Discovery copes with everything. (Including a cattle trailer and cows).

we have a Sorrento, and best tow car we have ever had, powerful engine, lots of space in the back (third row down), tows well. Lots of toys for the price, KX2s upwards have self levelling suspension. About 28mpg towing but had up to 44mpg on combined runs solo. About town only though it's a bit thirty and difficult to park as it's so big. 

VW Touareg......been excellent so far.  Got a very good deal on a pre registered model 2 years back.

We needed a big car as our TA weighs in at a max of 1900kg.

Two Jeep Wranglers, and an MGB! Make of that what you will.......🤔

Also be mindful of buying a nearly new car that had an original list price of over 40K, you get stung for extra RFL  (£100's) for the first five years of its life. i.e. what may cost £130 to tax when six years old is going to cost £500 a year, so what looks like a bargain initially catches some people out.

Quite happy with our Freelander 2, tows 2000kg and has a 150kg nose weight. will return 27mpg with our 1500kg Elddis behind it. 

Only thing is production ended in 2014 so may be too old for you  and engine is euro 5 so will not meet inner city ULEZ requirements, which is something else you may want to make sure whatever you go for is the minimum euro 6 requirement for a Diesel and 4 for Petrol.  

Freelander 2, Triumph Stag and a Triumph Sprint SE GT, Also a  Border Collie and a Collie Cross
