Replacement for Jeep Cherokee

I am thinking about replacing my 7 yr old petrol auto Jeep Cherokee. I do 5000 miles a year and don't need full 4x4, but wish to retain a lazy petrol engine and auto box - what would you recommend?

Probably the new Toyota RAV-4 2.0i Valvematic Multidrive S, which is 4WD. Honda does a 2WD CR-V 2.0i auto but it's not really powerful enough. Mazda doesn't do a CX-5 2.0i auto.

Better than the previous Cherokee model. Cute old-school looks.
