I know this is a very silly question but is there any sedan car able to tow an SUV in a deep gully?

Ford Taurus... D car get Muscles fah..lol

i don't know of any sedan but i know most subaru hatchbacks are excellent 4wd vehichles for towing

I wouldn't attempt it.

An S80 v8 when fitted with a tow hitch can tow close to 1.7tons. That said, I won't even attempt such needless stunts.

Transmission destruction

suspension collapse

Chassis deformation.

All these can occur when you attempt the feat and when the land caves in more, the sedan could also get pulled into the gully. Look for a good 4WD truck with live axle and enough torque to do it, the only sedan I can think of is all those subaru forester

I disagree somewhat - from an Engineering perspective. It's a comfortable rule of thumb but it's the Engine Torque figure that counts, or rather the Torque curve (availability at low RPM is important). Some sedans have more torqued engines than some SUVs so this generalization doesn't hold.

And, the chassis/transmission/suspension of any car - Sedan or SUV - would be (or, ought to be) designed to handle the maximum Torque it can produce from its belly.

Thank you engineer but you have still not told us what sedan has the required torque to tow out an SUV from a gully.

I don't want to delve much into physics but you realize a gully would require two forces upwards and forwards, an SUV in itself would find it hard to tow another SUV from that gully compared to a sedan.

Any heavy muscle car with high torque and AWD would do it. The state of the vehicle after?
Also, a maybach

That sedan that has as much Torque as the SUV you have in mind.

You are an ASE technician I bow

That's not how it works. A sedan chassis isn't designed to handle that specific application.
