Which SUVs are easy to climb into?

After having a stroke which affected my right leg, I find it difficult to climb into our Holden Astra. Can you recommend a vehicle that I can climb up to get in rather than down? I thought an SUV would be best.

This is one thing that SUVs are actually very good at, Philip. The higher position of the body means that many people find them a lot easier to enter and leave as there’s less knee-bending and gravity-defying to be done.

The world is full of affordable SUVs right now, but you need to find the one that makes life easiest given your particular circumstances. As well as the height you need, look for an SUV that has doors that open wide as well as the grab-handles in places you require them. Make sure the door has a pull-handle in the right location so you can close it easily, too.
