There are plenty of cheaper to run cars that can legally tow your van. Ford Kuga & VW Tiguan immediately spring to mind. However these cars are significantly lighter than your van. Whe legal, I would not recommend.

Cheap to run cars heavier than 1800kg are thin on the ground. Our 4007 SE weighs 1825kg claims to do 39 mpg combined & road tax is 215 currently.

If you like your current car, remember the loss on changing such a new car will probably outweigh the running costs savings.
