What makes & models have high seats?

So I'm still looking to upgrade my 04 Santa Fe and I'm struggling a bit to find the right car that ticks all the boxes. One of those boxes is that i need something that's reasonably high / easy to get in and out of as the old back isn't great. Id prefer a SUV but a good reliable car with raised seats would suffice. So what would you experts recommend? For the budget Id probably be looking for something in the 2011 - 2013 era.

Hyundai tucson, Kia sportage, Ford kuga from that era are the highest ones seat height wise but this may not automatically mean easy to get in and out so you should check it for your height and body shape.

If you have a bad back, try any volvo model even hb sedan versions before buying next car. They have extremely supportive seats in every model.

I also find MPVs easier to get in and out with lower floor(than SUV/Crossovers) and high roof

Thanks for that. I hadnt thought of the sportage or kuga.

Yeah Im fine height wise (6 ft) its the getting into or bending down to a low seat is the main problem or as I found out to my cost years ago, trying to get out when parked beside a (raised) footpath.

If your looking for a kuga, I'm selling an AWD version in the next few weeks. Wife is 6'2 and drives it. We don't need 2 cars these days.
