What car ticks all these boxes?

Budget £15k

In order of importance:

  • Very quiet and comfortable for long journeys.
  • Very reliable.
  • Room for three big dogs.
  • Not monstrously ugly.
  • Would prefer something that isn't incredibly slow.
  • Fuel economy is unimportant.
  • Age unimportant.
In my mind, I can't think beyond a Toyota Landcruiser, what have I missed?

Tesla Model S. The boot is huge, no servicing required, charging network is excellent and is perfectly suited to long trips.

I had an early Cayenne which ticks most of those. I owned it 10 years and overall I found it very impressive.

Sadly, it probably fails the ugly test!

I can't decide if they are ugly or bland.

Everyone is allowed an opinion, even when they are wrong like yours is.

I was thinking that but then I thought my dad has a Mondeo estate and he can fit two Great Danes in there. A third could fit but at a squeeze.

I would be very tempted by a Jag XF Sportbrake.
