Buying a dog-friendly car what would you recommend?

I have a 2011 Toyota Verso which I love. I also own a rather battered 2001 Honda CR-V that we use to take two Labradors (usually wet). I am thinking of selling both these & buying one car - what would you recommend? I have a bad back & find the Verso particularly comfortable. We are planning several long trips abroad so it would have to be good on economy. It would also have to be second-hand - budget about £15K.
