Are there any other cars that have doors that open like the element?

I love how the doors open. And the foot room in the back.

Are there other cars that have these qualities?

I've looked at the Kia Soul, Nissan Cube, Toyota ScionXb. and they seem like the backseat is squashed inside, and the doors are just normal.
