Need a new car that is comfortable and can carry a wheelchair

We have owned an Audi A4 2.0-litre saloon automatic for the past nine years. It has now done 70,000 miles.

We are aged 74 and are thinking about replacing it with a new or low mileage second-hand car. The new car needs to have five seats, automatic gearbox and room in the boot to take a standard manual wheelchair.

We also want parking sensors (front and rear) and a comfortable ride. Any advice?
