Small cars with removable rear seats

My present car, a Mitsubishi Colt CZ3, has removable and slideable rear seats, as did my previous car, a Mercedes A Class.

Can you please advise me of any new small/medium cars on the market that have this feature as I frequently have large objects to transport, but do not want to have a large car with increased fuel consumption and running costs.

I would prefer petrol to diesel, a high driving position and a reliable marque.
