Finding a suitable wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) is not as easy as many think. This acquisition may well be a compromise that started with knowing you have to say goodbye to a car you want to travel in for a vehicle you need to travel in. Whether you need a new or a Nearly New WAV on the Motability Scheme, WAV rental, a financed or outright purchase of a new or used WAV, we are here to help you with independent advice on your first or your next WAV.
Wheelchair user experience
The beauty of the Vauxhall Zafira is its low centre of gravity, and that is excellent news for wheelchair users as they will feel more inclusive in their settled position. The Zafira has a single piece low incline ramp, and you will feel like you are in this WAV at the bottom of the ramp. Feeling secure entering a WAV should give an immediate feeling of relief for most as there is nothing worse than being faced with what looks like a difficult ascent into a vehicle. The best news of all is it doesn’t look like a wheelchair accessible vehicle because it’s a car, not a van.
Driver experience
There are so few car-based WAVs in the marketplace that we are keen buyers when a Zafira comes to market, although they are getting rare now, especially ones in good condition with low mileage. First, the good news; it’s a car. Second, more good news; it has a petrol engine. Being a car, it handles better on the road, and the driver experience is more comfortable. The Specification is also higher, and it has a quality feel, plus the cockpit layout feels easier to use and can only give confidence. In short, getting into the Zafira doesn’t feel alien as it does in more van derived WAVs.
Passenger experience
Cars are, of course, designed for people, and van-based WAVs were initially intended for cargo, so you know you are onto a winner as a passenger in a car converted to a WAV. As the Zafira is a car, the ride is more comfortable, especially for longer journeys. There is more legroom in the front and the rear. The rear seat is a coach-built seat to enable good access for a wheelchair user to feel included in the Zafira, but you will find the rear seat ergonomically comfortable.
SMV loves
It’s compact, a car, and it has a petrol engine, and this is all excellent news for drivers, passengers, and most especially a wheelchair user. There is no need to feel self-conscious because there are plenty of Zafiras on the road. Unlike any other WAV on the road, it is always a much more approachable purchase, and they represent excellent value for money. The Zafira is a great allrounder, but please check the height of entry first; car roof lines at the rear tend to swoop down at the back, making access lower than the majority of WAVs which have van-based origins,
