We would suggest looking at cars like the Skoda Karoq and Kodiaq, the Kia Sportage and Sorento, and the Honda HR-V and CR-V. All of these medium and large SUVs offer good visibility and a wide range of seat adjustment, but we would also recommend that anyone who struggles to find a suitable driving position takes any potential vehicle for a test drive to ensure they can get comfortable behind the wheel.
