Can you find me an economical SUV for under €12,000?

Hi there, I have €10,000 to €12,000 to spend on a used car. I drive twice a week from Kerry to Dublin for work. I dont NEED an SUV but would really really like one. I need the normal two things in a car: reliability and economy. Is there any SUV out there that won't murder my pocket in diesel costs?

Many thanks
