Recommend a 4x4 with enough power for hills and plenty of boot space?

I've just moved to the middle of the North York Moors and want to buy a secondhand 4x4. I have three kids so boot space and rear seat space is important. I am not a confident driver so it would need to be easy to drive. At present I drive a 57-plate Vauxhall Zafira 1.6, which is very underpowered for the hills I'm tackling daily. Fuel efficiency is important as it's a 24-mile round trip to the nearest town! Budget is paramount as we are on a low income.
