Buying a new SUV - Discovery Sport or RAV4?

I am looking for an SUV with a large boot that will accommodate my two large dogs and a spare wheel (space saver, if necessary). So far I have found the Land Rover Discovery Sport and the Toyota RAV4 potentially meet these criteria. Any other ideas, please?

The latest Toyota RAV4 is a very good car. I would also recommend the Hyundai Tucson, which is fine value for money and also has a large boot.

The Land Rover Discovery Sport is a comfortable and practical car, but its troublesome reputation for reliability would make it difficult for me to recommend it.
