Need a car that will be kind to my bad back - what do you recommend?

My wife has hip and back problems, which makes our current car uncomfortable to ride in. Can you recommend a new car that will be better for our needs, with a large cabin and comfortable ride?

Mazda 5 TS2 on 16-inch wheels. Easy to get in and out of and exceptional ride comfort. Honda CR-V on 17 or 18-inch wheels. Very cosseting and comfortable. Volvo XC60 also very comfortable.
