OAP Car Suggestions

Hivemind assemble! OAP version
My parents want to get a new car as their EQA's boot is too small. Basically my father needs a mobility scooter or electric wheelchair to fit and the KIA PV5 WAV sounds ideal but keeps getting delayed and they are impatient!
Dragging my mum out of a Mercedes is proving an issue, I did look at the EQB and GLB (Elec) (any idea why there are two different models for what looks like the same car?) and the boot is bigger but still a significantly high boot level for my mum to lift the wheelchair up and no chance for a mobility scooter! Audi - A6 Avant e-tron is a possible good fit, but Q4 e-tron is cheaper, bigger boot and "smaller"*, but they are not sure about Audis - I don't know why . BMW - iX3 maybe? i5 Touring is too expensive and sporty (and "too big"*). They've asked about Chinese manufacturers and tbh I don't know much about them - any info appreciated.
TL;DR - recommend an electric car with good sized boot for my parents... thank you
