Suggestion for an MPV with high seating?

I have a Kia Sedona which has high seating, useful for night driving and bad backs. I used to have a Citroen Xsara Picasso which also had highish seats. Would like similar to citroen and with automatic and petrol. I have up to £8000 to spend.

Citroen only does an automated manual, not an automatic. Not good. Powershifts and DSGs are proving problematic. Probably your answer is a Toyota Verso 1.8i Valvematic Multidrive S. That has a very good CVT transmission.
