Kia Sorento old model will definitely tow it.Discovery or any of the bigger 4 x 4s from Nissan, Jeep Mitsubishi etc.
You need the max permitted weight of the caravan and the weight of the towcar, ideally you should aim for around 85% of towcar weight (it is only a guideline!).
Freelander 2 would probably be ok not sure about Freelander 1.
Sorentos are capable and reliable towcars, the last models are heavier than the current ones. 06 onwards are known as "facelift" models and have more powerful engines than earlier ones. Autos I believe are into high road tax bands.
We have a 59 reg (last of old models) which has a high spec as standard and will do about 30-35 mpg soslo, towing probably mid twenties.Its a manual and van is max 1400kg.
They can be 4WD torque-on-demand (XS XT and Titan models) or switcheable 4wd XE spec. All have selectable low ratio.
Nwere model (2010) is lighter and more poweful and can tow 2.5 tonnes-but that is over 100%
UK Sorento forum is helpful, as are the Land Rover forums.
Someone will probably advise you to have a Mondeo or a Skoda
