What Car: Rugged, Tips, Dogs, Fast Motorway

What car ?

I’m likely to be neck-deep in a house refurb for the next year, so it needs to be a bit of a workhorse
(tip runs, tools, DIY supplies, garden centre trips)
Have two choc Labs, so ideally needs a low boot floor/easy access.
Wife and I regularly do weekends in Devon/Cornwall, so it needs to be capable of doing 400+ miles in a day comfortably.

Currently have a 2013 Range Rover Sport L494, which actually ticks most of the boxes. Air suspension means I can lower it for the dogs, seats down it can carry loads of crap, and it’s fast and comfortable on the motorway. However it’s now done 129k miles, I’ve had it two years and just fancy a change.
Don’t want another/newer L494. Budget from £15k to £35k.

Options so far:
Audi Allroad / Volvo V90 CC, like them, but boot height/overall space feels a bit limited.
2020+ Defender, only interested in the 3.0, so right at the top of budget.
Van, don’t really fancy one, plus my wife already has an ID. Buzz.
Discovery 4, hugely practical, but getting old now in terms of tech, and the tailgate isn't ideal for the dogs.

Touareg?

I had a 262 RLine back in 2015, one of the best cars I’ve owned tbh.

For what you would get for the sport, I’d be inclined to run it into the ground.
It sounds ideal for what you need.
