Is there a no-nonsense SUV with genuine 4x4 ability?
I'm looking for a robust, no-nonsense SUV. I don't need loads of gizmos, just a good solid motor for me and my dogs. A working vehicle, that's comfortable on a journey and economical. Is there such a vehicle?

We'd recommend a SsangYong Tivoli. It's not a serious off-roader but is 4x4 and will cope with fields and farm tracks without an issue. Also consider a Dacia Duster or a Suzuki Vitara.
