Raised expectation

My wife and I are looking for a 4WD style family car in a diesel powered 2WD format. Having seen the Nissan Qashqai + 2, which I particularly like due to the sizeable boot, are there any other cars which we should consider that tick all the boxes above? Having been a VW Golf driver for many years, I am also keen to buy a marque that has a good track record for reliability and inexpensive servicing / running costs. I recognise that the initial purchase cost of this vehicle may be highish.
