Do any cars have a sliding driver's door?

I'm a disabled driver. I'd like a new SUV or MPV with a sliding driver's door. Can you help me find what I'm looking for?

Nothing has a sliding driver's door. Plenty have sliding rear passenger doors both sides: Ford B-Max, Citroen Nemo, Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Mazda 5, VW Caddy Maxi Life, etc. The huge advantage of a Ford B-Max is its pillarless construction, so open the front hinged driver's door, slide back the rear passenger door and you have a completely open side.
