Buying a medium-sized 4-door saloon, petrol auto transmission. Is there such a thing?

I want to downsize from an "executive saloon" to a new 4-door saloon, petrol, automatic, similar trim: leathers, electrically adjustable seats, seat memory, cruise control, etc.

I cannot find such a car: they are all hatchbacks and my wife is too small to reach their tailgates!

Can you recommend something, please?

Compact 4-door saloons are not popular in the UK so are rarely sold here. All I can immediately think of is a VW Jetta.
