Bit of a weird one but what small vans feel like a big van in terms of seating position?

I’m on the lookout for a berlingo/caddy/connect size van for work and personal use as the Freelander is getting a bit small and don’t need 4x4. I like my FL’s relatively high up seating position for driving long distances in comfort, much like the Transits, Sprinters and Amaroks I’ve driven in the past. When i get a van, i don’t want to lose this but i don’t have the parking space or a need for a Custom/Transporter/Vito size van. Are there any small vans that have a somewhat similar feel?
Thanks

Short wheel base Vivaro, dispatch, proace or expert

They're all the same van under the skin and size wise sre the same as the LWB berlingo.but you get the benefit of the higher driving position.

Toyota badged version gets the 10 year 100k mile warranty, subject to having it serviced by Toyota at the correct intervals.

I have a SWB Renault Trafic , drives like a car but seating position I feel like I am in a bus ... Maybe still getting used to it, only had it 6 months.
