Do any small cars have sliding rear seats?

My wife has a 2014 Hyundai I10, which we use for shopping and transporting our two grandsons in Isofix car seats. The boys are growing, now 6 and 3, and have started to complain of lack of legroom. We need to change, but don't really want anything a lot bigger. Would a car with sliding rear seats give us more rear leg room? We do not usually have much in the boot, when we have the boys?

The previous model Renault Twingo could be obtained with sliding rear seat that gave a lot more legroom and almost no luggage room: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/renault/renault-tw.../ You could also get them in the original Smart ForFour: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/smart/smart-forfou.../? and the Mitsubishi Colt: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/mitsubishi/mitsubi.../? But it's not a feature I've seen in small cars since then.
