Looking for the perfect dog carrier

I'm looking to change my 2006 Vauxhall Astra diesel for something suitable to carry a Labrador dog complete with cage. I am considering a new/nearly new Hyundai Santa Fe or Toyota Avensis estate, and am currently only doing 5000 or so miles a year. What do you advise?
