+1 for Lada Niva but not sure where OP is. Hard to get one outside Russia and Europe.

Dashboard is still the same analog as in the 80s https://static.lada.ru/images/press-releases/vaz_catalogue_n...

There seems to be a UK dealer https://lada4x4.co.uk/

For the US and Canada:

It would be impossible new without buying them for crash tests and I think maybe modifying the engine, and it gets very expensive (I'm not 100% sure but it's a tedious and very difficult and expensive process from what I remember). That's unless they're 25 years old in the US or 15 years old in Canada (eg. buy a really old model).

I would kill to be able to purchase a brand new 4x4 manual transmission light SUV in the US. Sadly it no longer exists.

Suzuki Jimny is in similar 4x4 category, it can be an alternative for the rest of the world.
