A small car for a steep drive?

We currently own a Toyota Yaris SR 1.33 but the ground clearance is insufficient to cope with our steepish driveway, therefore we would like to replace this with another small or medium size vehicle (either new or used) with a better ground clearance.

It must also have a flat entry boot and be economical to run. We do approximately 7000 miles per year, so think perhaps a petrol model would be best - what would you advise?

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
