What large car?

My 2000 seven-seat E-class has finally reached the end of the road as the suspension needs serious work (probably as a result of speed bumps that blight our part on London). I need a replacement and have looked at both the XC 90 and the Disco 4 (expensive). Is there anything else I should consider (I'd prefer to avoid the S-Max)

Hyundai Santa Fe and the better looking KIA Sorento.
