Hi, struggling to find the right words bit we will soon be starting to look for a mid sized family. One if my key things is to get a "higher" seat position for better comfort on long Journeys.

Silly question but Is there any comparison available of car seat height or driving positions to avoid seating into multiple options just to find out seating positions?

Thanks

This website gives some measurements (including seat height) for a wide range of cars:

It is aimed at helping disabled drivers, but is useful resource for able bodied as well.

What you are looking for is a table of H-point (hip joint position) locations. The H point is a major location in any car package design. Unfortunately, I don’t know of any readily available published list for this. This site may be useful, there may be others if you search deeper.
