Replacing a Suzuki Jimny

I have had Suzuki Jimnys for 10 years and this suits me but not a comfortable ride for a passenger (although I don't often take one) and, as write ups say, it is not the best!

Wish to stay with a 4wd but could do with a smoother drive. Need similar amount of space and prefer back seats to go flat and loading straight in - no lip. Do short urban drives but also much longer drives.
