do I have to buy an SUV
Pretty much - that or a van type thing like the ID Buzz.
You might be able to look at something like the Polestar 2 as that's still quite high for a sedan type car.You could also look at smaller cars like the Zoe which have more upright positions but not sure if you need something larger than that.
The best thing to do is shortlist against your budget and go test drive.

I have long wanted an ID Buzz since they showed the proto. If it wasn't for a) the name, b) it costs £60k, c) I don't need an mpv any more cos they've taken so long to bring it to market my kids have grown up and d) there's none of the interesting stuff inside any more (at least on the early versions). Also, making the middle rear seat a shit one will mean constant arguments over who goes in the middle - poor design choice.
Still think they look great though and will be envious when I see one.

Not entirely sure where to ask this but seeing as our next car will be electric it seems like the right place.
In July I had a pretty severe disc herniation which crushed my sciatic nerve resulting in a week's stay in hospital, thankfully I'm on the mend but it's a slow process.
The main consequences of this is I haven't been able to ride a bike since and although I can drive, using the clutch (the damage was to the left sciatic nerve) and driving positions are a big problem as they cause a lot of pressure on the nerve over time. The issue with driving position is that the seats put your arse below your knees so all the weight is transferred to the nerve, atm I use cushions to componsate but it's not ideal so my question is, do I have to buy an SUV in order to have a raised driving position so my bum can be level with my knees or are there other options?
I know fuck all about cars.
