VW Passat is a little weedy, weight wise, for your Coachman. An X-Trail is still a 4x4 but considerably more economical than a Frontera. Your budget will get you a choice of the more desirable 2.2DCi models. Ensure you are looking at the 4WD models as 2WD ones were available and although they tow very well, they are quite a lot lighter.

Hope that helps
