What small cars have a high seating position?

I drive a Hyundai Ioniq which has been great, but now I’m in my 80’s I would like a small car with a high seating position that is easier to get into and out of. My annual mileage will probably be not more than 3000. What models would you reccomend?

We would suggest looking at cars like the Honda Jazz, Hyundai i10 and Dacia Sandero Stepway, all of which are compact but have good access and a higher driving position, which should make it easy for you to get in and out as well as providing a good view out.
