The 2016 Land Rover Discovery 4 range of configurations is currently priced from $29,260.
Our most recent review of the 2016 Land Rover Discovery 4 resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing journalist Peter Anderson had this to say at the time: I’ve laboured the point, but for such an old stager, the Discovery’s looks and technology have hung in extremely well, helped of course by a continuous improvement philosophy. Its off-road credentials remain largely unchallenged but its on-road manners, while very good for an SUV, are eclipsed by the competition.

The 2016 Land Rover Discovery 4 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 3500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
You haven't given us the weight of the caravan you want to tow, which goes a long way to determining the best car for you. We'll err on the side of caution and go for cars with a towing capacity of at least 2500 kg that fall within your budget. It's always best to go for the latest model you can afford, which means around 2103 in your case. I'm guessing you're over the Pathfinder given your experience with the holed piston in your current car, but the Nissan is an option for you. So too are the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Mitsubishi Pajero, although the Pajero's rear suspension is prone to sagging when heavily loaded and I would rule that out on that basis. If you can stretch your budget a little you could consider the Landrover Discovery 4, which does everything you want well, but is the most expensive of this bunch. For me the pick of the bunch for me is the Toyota Prado, for performance, economy, and reliability. The only issue for you could be that the Prado's towing rating is 2500 kg, the lowest of the cars we mention here.

There are plenty of SUV choices to look at, such as a Toyota Prado or Jeep Grand Cherokee. Both should serve your needs well.

I would take the Touareg over the Discovery but the real outback towing champion is the Toyota LandCruiser — which gets a big tick from me — because of its bulletproof reliability and Toyota's service network. The badge is not as prestigious and it will cost more for a fully luxury package but the 200-Series 'Cruiser is still The King.
