Which SUV do you recommend with step-up entry and automatic transmission?

I am now in my 80's and drive a BMW 3 Series. This is quite low slung for entry and I am thinking of changing to an SUV or similar with step-up entry. I do not do a lot of miles so require a petrol engine and automatic transmission. I see the Honda CR-V should fit the bill but what other choices do I have, please?

The latest is the Renault Captur, tested here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/renault/renault-ca.../ The video test is only the diesel, but the TCe 120 EDC is covered in the written test.
