Replacement for a first generation CR-V

My parents (in their 70s) have an R reg CR-V and want to replace it. They do <8k miles per year and are worried about diesel with this mileage. Need automatic, easy access, boot space, similar size (new CR-V looks too large). What would you suggest?

The new Honda HR-V 1.5iVTEC CVT-7 might suit. Alternatively a Suzuki Vitara S 1.4 Boosterjet auto.
