Is there a good alternative to the Fiat Panda 4x4?

My Fiat dealer tells me that Fiat Panda 4x4 are no longer made. Are there any alternatives?

They are no longer made and the value of used ones rose this winter. The smallest 4WDs still made are the Suzuki Jimny (awful to drive), the Suzuki SX4 AWD, the Fiat Sedici AWD, the Toyota Urban Cruiser 1.4 AWD, the MINI Countryman All-4 and the Nissan Juke DiG-T 4x4. Also, Suzuki UK is trying to persuade Suzuki Japan to let it have Swift 1.2 4WDs.
