Volkswagen Caddy Maxi rear wheelchair user position rear ramp WAV from Southern Mobility Vehicles

The two plus three standard seats plus a wheelchair user in the vehicle’s rear is probably the most prolific conversion across the WAV industry. The Volkswagen Caddy and the Maxi version, 353mm or 13.9 inches longer, have been around for many years and have always lent themselves well to various possible conversions.

The VW Caddy Maxi version is usually converted to accommodate a wheelchair passenger in the rear, and many different conversion companies have completed this. Several marques can offer the wheelchair passenger in the rear, or third-row conversion, as an option, so effectively using the boot space. Converting through the rear and avoiding the second-row seat removal is often a more straightforward and cost-effective option for a WAV conversion, and it works very well.

The VW Caddy has lent itself well to this task, but buyers do not always favour the rear position due to the distance from the driver and the feeling that the wheelchair user is baggage or luggage. Some love it, of course, teenagers and youngsters often like having their own space away from their parents, and the private hire and taxi industry revere the Caddy.

The various conversions come with or without wheelchair assist winches which can be beneficial for two purposes. Pulling a wheelchair user in, we often feel more helpful in avoiding increasing pain levels for manual wheelchair users. Using a winch means that the torque will pull the wheelchair user over ramp seams and avoid the human interaction, which can cause jolting as a wheelchair user is pushed up the incline into the WAV.

Volkswagen, of course, is often favoured over other marques because of their build quality and engine reliability. However, it is essential to remember that conversions across the industry vary considerably; variations in materials quality, ramp and lowered floor angles and lengths, and entry widths. In short, one rear entry 3rd row Caddy Maxi conversion is most definitely not the same as the next one; this is where we strongly recommend taking advice.

Volkswagen’s DSG or Direct Shift Gearbox is widely used across the automotive industry and developed over many years. It is also reliable and well tested; the private hire industry often insists on it as they cover so many miles in a year.

SMV conclusion: the Caddy is a great allrounder; it is flexible, plentiful and practical with five original VW seats. The DSG gearbox mated with the newer two-litre diesel engine upgraded from 1.6 litres in late 2015 is legendary and known to be an excellent workhorse. The new 2.0-litre engine came with Bluetooth and cruise control, which undoubtedly increased its popularity.
