Hi Gazmister, some of them have kerbweights in excess of 1400 kg and 1500 kg with max tows of 1400 kg and the Bailey MTPLM is 1306 kg so you would have to be careful which model but yes, some of them will tow the van ok.

The Qashqai plus 2 would be heavier again but a bit pricey for now.

I stand corrected Ali,

I like the chunky look of them though and I bet would look good towing a van,

Hope all is ok with you

I really like the look but will wait til they are cheaper before considering plus I am liking my X Trail!

We are fine thanks, been mighty chilly down here of late but saw the sun today!

Kia Carens but no cruise control. External fit only. You don't say if you are towing and if so what?

Standart fitting on the Kia Carens LS I,ve got one good motor

The Kia sedona has everything you need.

Must have 3 proper seats in the back  HAS 5
Have cruise control   YES
Minimum 140bhp   183BHB
Not a 4x4   YES
Max £12k / max 3yr old / max 30,000 miles.   £12k I guess may get you a 2008 top of the range if you look hard enough
Hatchback   YES

Don't be put of by the badge,had our 08 model 6 month now,no problems,just a rattly tailgate which will be getting fixed under warranty.

Then again if you like the Qashqai you will be surprised at the discount you may get if you shop around,the factory is struggling as you may have seen in the news and nissan is desperate for sales just to keep it going.

 Try a ford C max. We have one and tow a Pageant 6 Bretagne no probs. Ours is the 2.0 TDCI zetec and has a max tow weight of 1500kg. We don't have cruise control but I think the Ghia model has. The kerbweight is 1506kg and ours is a 93% match for the pageant but we did have the ranger 550/6 before and it was a 86% match.
