Best luxury SUVS for towing

FOR: Most practical, best off-road, classy AGAINST: Heavy and thirsty, poor reliability

Our experts select three great choices on a budget of £16k

LAND Rover has recently replaced its Discovery with an all-new model, but the timeless design ensures the previous SUV still looks classy today. It’s a real multi-purpose tool that’ll happily transport a family of seven in comfort, tow up to 3.5 tonnes, and is one of the most capable off-roaders at any price.

But it’s heavy, so doesn’t tackle corners with grace, and running costs will be steep. We saw a 2010 3.0 TDV6 XS with 75,000 miles for £15,495.
