What is the best replacement for my Land Rover Discovery?

What should I replace my Land Rover Discovery with? I do 30,000 miles per year and it has to have genuine off-road capability because I visit farms for a living.

KIA Sorento 2.2 R-Type diesel manual or Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 R-Type diesel manual. Though good on the road and much more economical than a Discovery (35-40mpg), these are not as amazing off road as a Discovery.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
