Can you recommend a new small 4x4?

I am looking for a new five-door hatchback or crossover, with an automatic gearbox due to my bad knee. The car must be comfortable on the motorways as I do a 500 mile trip every month. The car must also have room for two dogs, but I don't want a huge 4x4. What do you recommend?

Suzuki SX4 S-Cross 1.6 ALLGRIP SZ5 auto list price £21,920, so you will need to work on the pricer a bit. I think it already comes on all weather tyres. That's the cheapest 4x4 auto five-door hatch there is.
