Vehicle Suitability

Please Note:

  • Vehicles may change trunk shape and dimensions and internal detail from year to year even though externally they look unchanged
  • Market regions around the world can differ markedly for the same model name

  • The level of dexterity of the driver will be a significant factor - some drivers need the wheelchair very close or they find it difficult, others have no issue.



This list is being progressively updated, and many more models will be added as they are assessed. Country-specific vehicle versions have yet to be added, so use this as a guide only.

Please make an Enquiry or contact us with your vehicle and wheelchair details to check suitability!

    Can for both types of chair, but need to check the wheelwell intrusion as it goes further to the rear than most, but may be able to remove some trim. FX likely to require narrow loader version. Where 7 seater need to fold rear seats out of way of course.

    This is a good option, well shaped trunk, fairly economical and does not feel a bulky car. 9-5 also good, may be a fraction longer though.

    Ricability has these details. Generous boot size but quite long, reach needs checking.
    Boot height on ricability is 820, but 80mm drop into boot floor, so effective is likely 740, but opportunity to tilt base to get more.

    This is very marginal on reach and boot width. A small chair can possibly be done but needs very careful checking, and some tricks to the mounting. This is labelled as as Golf elsewhere in the world.
