Which SUVs have the best boot space?

We are in our mid 60s and have just downsized to one car, a Suzuki Grand Vitara 4x4 petrol , which is now nearly 14 years old but still going strong at 62,000 miles.

Our budget is £30,000 and we wish to buy a new petrol SUV, as our mileage is only about 9000 per year. My husband would like a manual car and would prefer a 4x4, with a boot as big as the current car in order to take his fishing gear etc. Please advise which car you would recommend for safety, reliability, economy and comfort?

A Honda CR-V 2.0i meets the brief, or a Mazda CX5 Skyactiv petrol 2WD.
