Car for 4dc, including 2 baby seats

Hi please can you help recommend me some cars that will take this combo of kids?

Dc1 is quite tall so will need leg room.
Dc2 has small legs but I doubt this will be for long the way he eats
Dc3 has a rear facing maxi Cosi that in my current car (a civic) leaves my tall partner with just about zero space in the front passenger seat. He hates it and this would have to change in the next car.
Dc4 (on the way) will need a baby seat.

So I'll need to have the two babies easily accessible, I presume in the middle row of the car, with the two eldest in the back. Will want isofix for their seats. Will not want to have to move the seats to get the eldest two in.

Would be nice if we could also take a friend on occasion, also we'll definitely need boot space enough for a large pram and the weekly shop.

Like the idea of a VW caravelle but it has to be petrol as make lots of short trips and pretty much never manage distances at speed.
Prefer manual too.

Looking around the 10k mark, cheaper if possible, potentially up to 15k max.

Help!

Don’t know if they are available but a Ford Expedition or a Chevrolet Tahoe both would have enough space.

Some versions have 2 captain seats in the middle row, allowing the kids to easily walk down to the back

Screamanger those both appear to be US models so tricky to source etc.

Probably a bit out of my budget but does anyone have a ford tourneo custom? Is it any good?
