What daily-driver vehicle will allow me to tower over the rest?

After years of small hatchbacks and similar cars, I've come to realize I really prefer driving "taller" cars, where I'm seated higher off the ground. What cars should I be looking at purchasing for a daily driver?

After years of small hatchbacks I've been driving a Kia Soul, which has a considerably higher off the ground driving position that I've come to appreciate. More recently I've been driving a large campervan (based off a 3500 Ram Promaster) and although too big for a daily driver, driving from that height is awesome! And then last week I spent some time driving a Toyota Corolla and I may as well have been sitting on the ground for how low it felt, and realized I definitely prefer the higher driving positions.

How do I find these taller cars to consider for my next purchase? Or presumably, SUV type vehicles. Even a truck is not off the table. Is there a ground-to-seat stat somewhere? I guess I can look at ground clearance, but a few cursory googles gets me lists for off-road capable vehicles which isn't really what i'm optimizing for here (although the two requirements probably have some correlation). Other than that, my requirements are pretty flexible at this stage but I'm not looking for luxury here - think Toyota, not Lexus.

Obviously in todays times i'm not super keen to go visit a lot of dealerships to sit in random cars to test - but to be honest, I wouldn't even be enthusiastic in BeforeTimes.

I'm in Canada, which is important as I'm finding a lot of European models mentioned when googling "high seating position" and similar keywords.
