Replacing a Volvo V70?

We have a Volvo V70 automatic diesel and while it is very comfortable and economical, it is now getting more difficult to get in and out of it as the seats are quite low.

Can you suggest a good replacement that is bit higher, not larger, but is of a similar quality of build and economy?

The obvious one is the Volvo XC60.
