Buying a compact 4x4 like Suzuki Jimny, what others would you recommend

My wife would like a compact 4x4, similar to a Suzuki Jimny. She's had a Ford KA 11 years from new which has been absolutely brilliant and has never faulted, but she's developed this 'Indiana Jones' craving. We don't drive off road but she likes the chunky look. What similar compact cars should we consider to please.
