Citroen Berlingo passenger upfront wheelchair user position rear ramp WAV from Southern Mobility Vehicles
The Citroen Berlingo is a versatile small to medium-sized wheelchair accessible vehicle. Our favoured version is a fully automated rear ramp entry wheelchair passenger upfront WAV. The ease of entry for a wheelchair user is made significantly more reassuring by the lowering rear suspension making the ramp gradient very shallow, which is most favourable for wheelchair users.
The wide entry and spacious feeling inside and the short journey to the prime position in any wheelchair accessible vehicle, the front passenger, is made easy in the Berlingo. Its practical size means plenty of elbow room for driver and wheelchair users. There’s nothing worse than feeling claustrophobic inside a vehicle, and you won’t find this to be a problem in this Citroen Berlingo conversion, and the all-around vision is excellent too.
The great news is the cleverly stowed and easy to deploy rear bench seat will give you enough seating for two extra people making this a three seated passenger and one wheelchair user WAV. The simple nature of the semi-auto gearbox combined with the 1.6-litre engine in the Berlingo means fuel economy is excellent, and the road tax is a mere £30 per annum unless you are exempt.
SMV conclusion: This is a simple, easy to use, economical and very well converted car with the wheelchair user in the prime location, right at the front. It’s easy to access and exit, with a one-button press to open the WAV up for wheelchair entry. The engine is solid and reliable, and it’s cheap to run. Wheelchair users can feel safe boarding and leaving the vehicle, and with a lowered floor right to the front, they will feel like they are meant to be there.
