Yes but a lot of cars don't raise up high enough for short people.

I test drove a Lexus, and a few other cars, and they all had tiny windows. I hate it. What the heck is what this trend.

I bought a Hyundai Kona last year and at the highest seat level, it fits me well. I’m 5’1”. I also like that many safety features come standard at a lower price than other small SUVs.

A while back I had a Subaru Forrester, which was also good. But this was back when many developed engines oil leaks that cost many thousands to repair, which put me off Subarus for life, even though they seem more reliable now.

BMW X5 or X3. Acura MDX.

I’m 5’2” and looked for exactly this when we bought our cars. I had the Acura and liked it until we got the BMW. The Acura is now our daughter’s and I drive it occasionally but I much prefer the BMW. I feel higher. I still can’t see parking lines sometimes but I don’t think I’ll ever find an SUV where I can.

Volvo XC40

Same experience with Lexus.
Also subarus as someone mentioned. I don't think being short is actually an issue really. But I haven't driven American cars.

Forrester, and I know people on DCUM are not big on domestic vehicles, but I have a Ford Escape that gives me (5'2" as well) a great seat position.

I am looking for a small suv with a high driver position for a shorter person, around 5'2". Any suggestions of what I should put on my list to look at?
