Van-like seating position in a car?

I drive a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for work and find the seating position very comfortable as I have a bad knee which aches a lot in a normal car seat. What car (new or used) would have the closest seating position to the Sprinter? I have a maximum budget of £20,000.

SUV or van-based car.

Depending on the size of the vehicle you need, I'd recommend the Ford Puma, Skoda Karoq, Hyundai Tucson and the latest Toyota RAV4.

If you want a van-based car with a similar driving position to your van, you may want to consider a double-cab Ford Transit Custom or Volkswagen Transporter Kombi.
