Plenty of 2-door cars out there.

Citroen solved that problem more than half a century ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-levelling_suspension
I don't understand why we are even talking about two-seaters. Bolt is a family car. Cramped rear seats and two-seaters are not that popular. Bolt is more like VW Golf.

Even today Citroëns have standard ground clearance. Some rumors say, that they will stop using their hydropneumatic suspension.
