The cars and vans are getting much more practical, useful and better designed, and as such we’ve seen some excellent examples of WAV in the last few years.
WAV’s are also becoming much more accessible in terms of price, particularly with projects like the motability scheme in the UK, with has helped thousands of disabled drivers to become more independent and enjoy travelling again.

Without doubt one of the best examples of WAV conversions in the last few years, the Nissan NV200 is not only extremely high-quality but played a crucial role in Nissan’s accreditation as the motability supplier of the year in 2010. First adapted by Constables Mobility, a UK company based in East Sussex, the NV200 Is comfortable, spacious and one of the best family models available on the market (with space for six people, including wheelchair user and driver).

The Renault Kangoo is an extremely popular model for WAV conversions as ideal for those wanting a rear access disabled vehicle. With enough room for the wheelchair user, the driver and three additional passengers, the Renault is spacious enough to suit a small family and is incredibly safe, economic and comfortable.
The last car we’ll look at is the Peugeout Expert Tepee WAV, which is usually chosen for its maximum amount of comfort, coupled with the face that it’s spacious, rear access and can be purchased with a short or long wheelbase.
