New car someone who's had back surgery?

Wife has just had major back surgery so needs a cosseting ride, easy access and heated front seats.

She needs the car for her shortish journeys, a hatchback or saloon, no smaller than C-sector with a petrol engine, automatic transmission, spare wheel and hand-brake is desired.

Happy to spend around £20,000. I have narrowed it down to a SEAT Leon or a Honda CR-V from two different directions. What would you recommend please?

For comfort, the CR-V on 17" wheels.
