You should consider what type of driving you do and what other capabilities you need.
Plenty of Space
High Ground Clearance
Driving through regularly flooded roads -- definitely get a vehicle with 4 wheel drive.
Also consider if you want petrol or diesel. Diesel gives you greater engine torque therefore greater pulling power for towing, however they cost more.
If you only do low mileage then a petrol would be fine.
I have a Nissan x-trail and what I really like is its just a case of pushing a button to switch between 2 wheel driver, 4 wheel drive (if needed), or lock into 4 wheel drive. Decent ground clearance but not too much and plenty of room to carry 5 adults comfortably with adquate boot space.
I would tend to avoid suv's who have their spare tyre on the back.
