Commonly called wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAV), they are usually based on existing standard models of cars and vans from most of the major car manufacturers. Sometimes they are supplied converted from new, other times they a have been converted at a later date.

Volkswagen offer a range of their vehicles as wheelchair adapted, covering most requirements across the market and each model is available in different configurations, equipment and prices points.
The Volkswagen Sharan is a popular MPV, designed to compete with similar vehicles like the Renault Espace, and Ford Galaxy its size, shape and the configurable seating layouts have made it an obvious choice to be converted to carry wheelchair and mobility scooter passengers.
Wheelchair converted Volkswagen Sharan’s usually have the ramp in the rear and the wheelchair passenger is situated behind the rear seats, although it’s worth pointing out the seats can be folded out of the way or folded down into tables for the other passengers to use.

The Volkswagen Caddy is one of the most popular vehicles to be adapted to carry a wheelchair passenger – based on the robust and flexible Caddy van.
The Volkswagen Caddy comes in two different sizes, the standard Caddy and the Caddy Maxi. The Caddy Maxi is a longer vehicle and is ideal for wheelchair conversions where the customer wants to carry more seated passengers.
Due to their flexibility the Volkswagen Caddy can be converted to carry wheelchair passengers in the rear or in some instances as a front passenger or wheelchair driver
Volkswagen Caddy wheelchair cars have many different options when it comes to seating options and equipment levels and there are usually vehicles available to suit every budget.

For those looking for a larger or more luxurious type of vehicle a wheelchair adapted Volkswagen Caravelle might tick all the boxes.
These longer, almost minibus size, vehicles offer flexible seating and plenty of space to allow a wheelchair conversion. Equipment levels in the Caravelle can be very good, with electric windows, privacy glass, adjustable steering and even complete entertainment systems, electric side steps and more. The Caravelle is generally at the more expensive end of the market but if you are looking to carry multiple seated passengers and a wheelchair user in comfort these are definitely worth a look!
If you are looking for a wheelchair adapted Volskwagen Transporter, then a Caravelle is very similar but usually has a higher specification and comfort.
