It’s a double din. Something like this would work

Check Best Buy, for about $250 you could get one with android auto/CarPlay with a free install on most all models if you’re not a DIY. Wither option would require some adapters but be cheaper and better than an Oem replacement
I went through the same thing as you fairly recently. My favorite headunit was pretty dated and was starting to have compatibility issues with new phones, so I recently upgraded to this
I'm normally not a fan of buying no-name brand headunits, but so far this one has done a great job, and is one of the most subtle looking that I can find. It has a few small things about it that I don't care for (music doesn't play while in reverse for example), but nothing that really bothers me all that much.
If you want a very low cost option the ATOTO Year currently available on Amazon may have wireless capabilities if you can wait a few months. The description says “FUTURE compatibility with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto(by adding a specific ATOTO USB dongle to connect to SA102, estimated available in June/July,2019, sold separately).”
