Can you recommend a car like my Yaris, but with a higher seating position?

I have a 3-year-old Toyota Yaris Design Hybrid with 10,000 miles. In general terms, the car is perfect; economical, reliable, and comfortable to drive. Unfortunately, I'm waiting for a new hip and I don't see any likelihood in the near future, which means that getting in and out is painful. Can you recommend a car that is very like my Yaris but has a higher driver's seat?

It's not on sale yet, but it might be worth waiting for the new Toyota Yaris Cross. It's essentially a small crossover version of the excellent new Yaris Hybrid. Alternatively, consider a Skoda Kamiq or, if you want something more like your Yaris, a new Honda Jazz.
