Remote control boot recommendation

    Hi I am looking to buy a car with a boot that opens and closes with a remote. I'd like to either buy or alternatively add this to my existing car (06 focus)- if possible. The reason for this is i have rheumatoid arthritis and find it painful to raise my arms fully. If anyone could give me a recommendation for a car that would suit that has this feature or somewhere that might install it onto my existing car if possible. If buying a new car i'd be looking for 2011-2014 and a focus size or up to a mondeo size or suv. Apologies, I forgot to add that it also needs to be an automatic.

    Any advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!

    Auto opening and closing tailgate is a rare enough feature on non premium branded cars in those years. I've no idea if it can be retro fitted afterwards but maybe talk to a place that fits driving aids for people with disabilities?

    A Titanium X Ford Kuga might probably have it but they are a bit more expensive than a Focus.

    Honda Accord Tourers had that feature from 2003-2011
    Have you thought about a CRV with a side opening boot?
