What car has a low boot sill for an elderly dog?

I have a Honda CR-V and also a lurcher dog who at 14 years old has decided not to jump into the boot of the car. I have to lift her in. She won't walk up a ramp either. I am wondering if there is a car with a lower sill height than that of the CR-V?

There will be other similarly-sized SUVs with lower ride heights, but probably not lower enough to make life significantly easier for you and your Lurcher! If you'd consider an estate car, we'd recommend a Skoda Octavia, or for maximum room for your dog to travel in comfort, the larger Superb.
