Buying a small 4x4 - what do you recommend?

I live in the Yorkshire Dales and need a new car. I want a fuel and tax efficient 4x4, as we get snow and ice every winter. We also need space for family of five and a large dog. What would you recommend?

Consider a Peugeot 2008 with Grip Control. That's probably all you need.
