Driving help

Hi, first post, reaching out as I am desperate
I’m 6ft 2in tall and 46 stone! I’m still working in a job I’ve had for 20 years but I’ve been sent home as work are concerned that I am too big to be driving company car. I have a Kia Sportage and they did a driving risk assessment and they have told me the car is unsuitable because the steering wheel is against my abdomen and if the airbag went off, it could do some serious damage. I really don’t want to lose my job but they have said they would change my car to a van or something. Does anyone out there know of a vehicle that has good leg room and a steering wheel that can be moved so it’s not facing my tummy? I fear if I lose my job, that would be it for me
