Decent 4x4 capability

[oblio]

Later this year we will be moving to mid Wales to a rural location. We therefore think we will need to upgrade our current 'softroader' to one with good 4x4 capability.

Budget is £20-25k and it would need to be an automatic. The preference would be petrol as well (depending on how far we are living from civilisation). It would be used just for normal use rather than off roading/green laning etc but given the lanes/B roads where we live it needs to have good capability in adverse weather (snow etc)

I would welcome some suggestions as to where to start looking if possible.

Cheers

Any 4x4 softroader would cope with that sort of use, what is your current car?

Nissan Juke and I don't think it would tbh. We had some decent snow here (Cirencester) this winter and whilst it was better than a 2 wheel drive car it was only just better!

Places where we are likely to move to will not have the roads cleared of snow nor be gritted for ice.

Thanks for the advice chaps.

I'll look into some replacement wheels/tyres for the Juke as a starting point.

I did see it as a an opportunity to persuade Mrs O that we could get a Landrover mind so that I could tick the "Every man needs to own a Landrover at some stage in his life" box
