A bit of an open ended question. What sort of budget are you looking at? What sort of car? SUV, estate , saloon etc. Do you have a BE licence, if not having a car capable of towing 1400 kg MTPLM might be difficult to find.

My sons partner is 5ft and has no problem driving their Freelander 2. Other cars could be Sportage, Tuscon, X trail, Forester, XC60 etc. Auto or manual. Many prefer auto for towing.
But do be careful as not all models of cars may be suited to the job. The makers for one reason or another might have one suited to 2000 kg but another identical in many respects only specified for a much lower load. Tiguan has a good reputation though.

The OP already has a Skoda Yeti. I thought she was looking for advice on alternative SUVs?
A Kia Sportage 4x4 would fit the bill.

We had a 2015 Tiguan 150 4Motion. last of the old shape and it was an excellent tow car for our 1450kg Bailey Pageant, however the boot was way too small for a family of 4.
It did return 40mpg round town, 50pmg on a run and 33mpg towing.
