Replacing a CR-V

We have an older Honda CR-V Executive and want a nearly new soft roader very similar in every respect. But we dislike the front end looks of the new CRV.

What would you recommend that fits this criteria: size as CRV, Petrol engine (hate diesels), leather, sat nav, automatic, don't want to go down market from Honda. Have a budget of around £25k for a nearly new SUV. Suggestions very welcome.

The only one is the Toyota RAV-4 2.0i Valvematic Multidrive S.

No petrol automatic of the new Mazda CX-5 for the UK.
