Robust, spacious cars

I have just sold my VW California and am looking to buy a roomy, comfortable car, but I live on an unmade road. The roads here on the Isle of Wight have got to be seen to be believed so it needs to have good robust suspension.

I also like to go to events that entail parking in a field. I think that a 4WD would be best but because my journeys are generally short. I understand that modern diesels would be problematic. I don't particularly mind whether it is new or second hand. What would you recommend please?
