1422mm depth claimed with seat folded. V claimed of 787mm will include recess below threshold.

This is a good car for the Abiloader. Delivery position a little limited by the low boot height and width can be tight for a medium sized chair. http://www.rica.org.uk/2883 Has adjustable air suspension as an option which can aid transfer heights.

This is narrower in the wheel well than last version. Wide kit essential.

Very narrow trunk at wheelwell: not likely to work with many chairs: but needs checking. (2018 on newer design: probably lower hgt) https://www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-about/choosing-car/car/audi-q3-quattro-stronic-20-tdi-5dr-4x4-2011

This car is similar to the Skoda Enyaq also based on the VAG MEB platform.

For this style of vehicle it is one of the better options. It has generous trunk height: and is not a long car. The seat transfer height is lower than other SUVs generally. Pics and measurements at http://www.rica.org.uk/2740

Ok for small to middle sized chairs. Allows driver side Turny. https://www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-about/choosing-car/car/audi-q5-30-tdi-clean-diesel-quattro-s-tronic-5dr

Yet to get measures. Based on same MLB platform as Q7

Boot is quite small and has a narrow wheel well: so needs a small / narrow chair. Send us your chair size if you want to try for this car! Super low transfer height if you need this. More details at https://www.ridc.org.uk/5200

Delivery position needs checking as a fairly long car. Trunk space average and not very tall. Pics and other info at: http://www.rica.org.uk/2748

Good sized trunk: good car for the Abiloader: but quite long - check delivery position.

Short trunk depth: needs a short chair or to remove the rear seats.

Depth of trunk is the limiting factor for this car: a quite short chair will be ok. Otherwise quite roomy. Check by putting the wheelchair in the trunk with castors to the hatch and see how much if any forward / aft movement there is with the hatch closed.

Very similar to earlier years. Boot a little short needs a chair not too long.

https://www.ridc.org.uk/5060

This is a good car for the Abiloader and mobility uses - good size of trunk for a chair that is not too wide: good driver access etc. Yet a smallish car externally. http://www.rica.org.uk/2885

Has side pockets in boot that take up 170mm of width each side: likely need to remove at least one if not both. Pics at http://www.topspeed.com/cars/chevrolet/2010-chevrolet-equinox-ar68470/pi...

Has powered trunk lid. 7 Seater dims: will have enough depth with 5-seat config. Will need some alteration to side pockets. Long vehicle: need to check threshold / length together. Pics at http://www.topspeed.com/cars/2009-chevrolet-traverse-ar71372/picture2894...

Very tall square opening into a huge space! Depth is the only dimension that may be a problem with a very long chair: otherwise heaps of room. Pics and specs at Ricability: http://www.rica.org.uk/4892

Very roomy boot but car a bit shorter than C5 so better reach. http://www.rica.org.uk/2077

Pics at http://www.topspeed.com/cars/ford/2011-ford-edge-ar84816/picture346877.html Boot length needs a quite short chair

Very large square shaped boot is good for the Abiloader: and a good delivery position as the car is not very long. This is the replacement in NZ for the Australian origin Territory. Sales info at https://www.ford.co.nz/suv/endura/ (an SUV with a useful boot - what were they thinking!) Endura name is for NZ / Aust: otherwise its the 2nd generation Edge.

T3 Platform. Huge vehicle and trunk. Vertical hard to gauge if more van be gained by dropping the false floor

5 seater config. Long car but a generous boot height. Pics at http://www.topspeed.com/cars/ford/2009-ford-flex-sel-fwd-ar63114/picture...

This is an ideal car for both folding and fixed frame: with a square boot opening and better size than many larger cars. http://www.rica.org.uk/2730

Still a pretty good car with surprisingly good boot size for the car feel. Offset door opener needed with wide kit. https://www.ridc.org.uk/5367

https://www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-about/choosing-car/car/focus-turnier-10-5dr-estate-2019

This car has a fairly shallow and not very wide boot: so needs a small chair. Typical SUV rather high transfer height where a transfer bench may be needed. Car pics and other dimensions at http://www.rica.org.uk/4971

This new version has some unfortunate changes that reduce the effectiveness of what was a best-in-class boot! Height of opening is lower: lower corners of the aperture have been rounded a lot. Floor for some random reason slopes up throwing away useful space. It's just packing underneath! Width of the transfer distance from sill edge to seat squab is now 250mm making a big gap to bridge - so our Transfer Bench may well be needed more often.

Very wide and long boot: roomy car: good for Abiloader: will take large wheelchairs. See note on MD onward chassis versions that are less favourable. Date of change is not that helpful: this model may have been sold new up to 2013/2014. This MC does not have exhausts integrated into the bumper. http://www.rica.org.uk/2597

Australia and NZ market vehicle: based on the Falcon chassis.

Max D2 calculated as 620: seats must be tilted forward and some trim in boot cut into. Width (in boot) more than a metre.

Nicer style than the trailblazer. Longer but lower transfer.

May be able to be done but really a poor choice for Abi. Too narrow at the bottom of trunk: but up 100 its 950. But then vert is less than the now increased threshold.

Typical SUV - fairly small trunk so can work with smaller chairs. Rear seat squab has 2 angles - check chairs with more vertical position: if it does not fit with it reclined.

Bumper has an unhelpful bump and a fairly low boot opening make the delivery point a bit further from driver. Does work: but check your ability to reach the latch.

Large boot but very high transfer! Feels chunky.

More info at https://www.ridc.org.uk/5559 Good smallish sized car for the Abiloader: good delivery point.

This is a good car for the Abiloader. If the chair is very wide a wide kit may be needed. Measures and pics at https://www.ridc.org.uk/5461

Known as the Sportwagon. A roomy car with plenty of room for FX: but a long car so reach just OK. The SV6 wagon is this style. More taper on the rear than the squarish VZ. Details at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2008-2009_Holden_VE_Commodore_SV6_Spor...

This is the best model of Commodore with a huge boot and an easy fit for the Abiloader. Pic of it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2004-2007_Holden_VZ_Commodore_Acclaim_...

This is a good car for the Abiloader - not as wide a boot as the older Holden Commodore: but very deep. Delivery position may be a bit back from the door as it's a very long car.

Rear seats move: can get up to 1120 depth. Measurements and pictures at http://www.rica.org.uk/2522

Electric hatch. W=1080 much higher up. (GE just moved across 3 nos - to be chkd!). Rear passenger doors open very wide to past 90degrees! Wide Kit made it harder with CRV as only installed base 300mm deep. Spare length 50mm with seats angled forward (+50mm D2).

Massive space!

Measurements for first generation model. These are now made up until 2014 in new gen shapes and 7 seaters and some 4WD. These likely have more boot depth and look very good for the Abiloader. Boot opening shape is very good and square. Likely not to have electric seats: which is a shame as otherwise a great option. Height adjust is standard pump lever :{ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Stream#Stream_ZS_.282009-2012.29

Not your average vehicle! Left side hinged door on the model we inspected If the hinging can be swapped: would work for LHD as well.

Great car for its size for the Abiloader. Actually made for the Euro market in Czechoslovakia. https://www.ridc.org.uk/5191

This has a much lower boot height so is not as good as earlier model for delivery point. Pics and other info at: https://www.ridc.org.uk/5638

Can be done for modest width chairs. http://www.rica.org.uk/2721 Narrow hatch at the bottom requires base higher. Long and low needs a wide kit or UX

See more recent one also... Length to be checked but probably OK. Not sure of year of Ricability car. http://www.ricability.org.uk/consumer_reports/mobility_reports/car_measu...

Ample room in the trunk: but of course a high transfer height for wheelchair user. Delivery position to be checked. http://www.rica.org.uk/5013 They show bigger than we measure.

Narrower: shorter than the older model by quite a bit.

No electric hatch

Measured in AUS by Ryan Waterman

No El hatch

El hatch. Chk yrs: conflicting nos.

This has a fairly low boot vertical: but good depth and modest width. OK for the Abiloader: but a wide kit may be needed for wider chairs. See pics at https://www.ridc.org.uk/4963

Very high trunk threshold for the vertical! Likely problem reaching the ground.

https://www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-about/choosing-car/car/jeep-grand-cherokee-30-v6-multijet-summit-5dr-4x4

Measured by MB at PKMC

This is about one of the lowest cost sizeable vehicles in the US: and together with the Abiloader would provide impressive independence for the dollars! Some dimensions need confirming with chair size: vertical height looks marginal and some trunk trim will need to be able to be adjusted. Boot pics at http://www.topspeed.com/cars/jeep/2009-jeep-patriot-ar63117/picture26187...

Looks ok for the Abiloader - pretty low trunk height: but will also be a short car. Compare to the sportage this boot is much longer: but a bit lower. Similar width.

Room to spare for Abiloader and a large chair. hhttp://www.rica.org.uk/2141

Low xfer height for a SUV-ish vehicle. Pretty shallow trunk so for short chair only

Fourth Generation Model: 2021 onwards. Worse delivery position than older model. Can move seats forward if needed to achieve more depth. Measured by IG at Kia in Chch.

Measures are here: https://www.ridc.org.uk/5719 7 seater version so good sized boot: but fairly high off the ground.

https://www.ridc.org.uk/5704 for pics and measures Very high transfer hgt and boot threshold! Generous sized boot though for a large chair. Delivery position needs checking with such a high boot floor.

Smaller than the Navigator: CD6 platform looks not a great boot vertical.

to be measured

Mazda 5 name is used for 2 quite different vehicles - this is the Premacy like one: not the Minivan with sliding doors. Details at: http://www.rica.org.uk/2175

Roomy boot with very large vertical opening: but not a large car to drive or garage. Ample room for Abiloader. Measured at http://www.rica.org.uk/2175

This current model has a very much reduced vertical height and did not look it would fit! But we have done this now and it WILL fit an Abiloader: with some conditions. It is still much less ideal than the earlier car: and so the delivery position is more suited to either a tall driver or requires the transfer bench we sell also. Please talk to us first so you know if it can work for your situation. http://www.rica.org.uk/2918

This is a great car for a fairly large chair and an Abiloader. Good boot depth and width. Electric seats can be found: but only in the high-spec models. NOTE: this is GH model: GJ is very much lower in vertical boot size! GH model may sometime show as 2013: depends on country - check the VIN ! http://www.rica.org.uk/2179

Needs a wheelchair that is not too long: but otherwise ok for Abiloader. Transfer height a bit high as in most SUVs. Measurements at Ricability: http://www.rica.org.uk/2821

Measured by MB at Mazda Dealership. Arced shape boot lip: 950mm depth at centre. Door to bumper approximate.

Marginal Width: needs short arm version. Length to be checked but likely OK for height. http://www.rica.org.uk/2184 Succeeded by CX-5 !!

El hatch.

Measured by MB at Mazda Dealership. Arced shape boot lip: 1230mm depth at centre: 1130mm depth at side of boot. Door to bumper approximate (likely wrong in this case).

Measured by MB at Mazda Dealership. Arced shape boot lip: 1280mm depth at centre: 1180mm depth at side of boot. Door to bumper approximate (likely wrong in this case).

High threshold needs checking with specific year model.

Pics and measuers at http://www.ridc.org.uk/5271 Really needs the version with the sliding rear seats to move forward enough for useful depth for the chair (unless a very short chair).

OK for small chair / short chair. Folding rear seat may be needed.

Boot is a bit narrow at wheelwell: needs a not-too-wide chair. Good delivery position. https://www.ridc.org.uk/5440

Trunk in this car is very large - good width and depth. One of the lowest transfer heights available: electric seats of course. A bit more expensive to fit Abiloader with all the fittings: but fabulous driving manners: comfort and range of engines. 4Matic 4 wheel drive available also in some countries. Details and pics: http://www.rica.org.uk/2699

One of the best cars for the Abiloader - very large boot. https://www.ridc.org.uk/5095

This is one of the best trunks for the Abiloader with a large chair - it is very large. Some height lost with the curve on the roof towards sides. https://www.ridc.org.uk/5579

Widths to be checked.

Very large trunk: plenty of room for Abiloader and a very large chair. Delivery point would need checking: and the high rear threshold. http://www.rica.org.uk/2917

More figures to add. See Haverkort chair for size we've done. Modest cost but not Air suspension.

Good wide and high boot for a shortish wheelchair. Has electric hatch. Seat transfer height is low for an SUV: but has a step outside the door which prevents wheelchair from getting too close to seat. May well need transfer bench for easing transfer from wheelchair. More compact than the big-brother GLE: which has more height and depth to trunk: but also much higher seat transfer height.

https://www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-about/choosing-car/car/gle-350-d-5dr-saloon-2019

The trunk is narrow at the wheel well for a rigid chair: but smaller version may be ok with a narrow chair.

Very long vehicle: consider delivery position.

Has el hatch: slide is an extra but with this ok for a small chair.

https://www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-about/choosing-car/car/outlander-5dr-saloon-2019

Probably same chassis as 241

Very square looking car: and tall: large boot size opening. 7 seater as viewed: these may need removing. But seat height fairly good for transfers. Wheel well width a little small: but trim can be removed to help. Manufactured 2004-12: same platform as Renault Megane: Nissan X-trail

Very wide boot: but low and very shallow. Definitely need to do something with the back seat for any wheelchair! Does allow driver side Turny Evo. Was a 7 seat of earlier model.

Flexible rear seating with adjustable position: depth is approx max. value. Boot has 70mm that can be taken out to increase height and drop threshold by 70mm. But load anchor may get in the way. Width of car to door / mirror is 1800 / 2040. This later car has a smaller wheelwell measurement: but still a very roomy boot and good for an Abiloader.

This year model has a storage drawer under the boot floor that slides out. The earlier model that does not have this is not suitable as the wheel arches and a fuel pipe bulge into the cargo space are too close together. Measures and pics at https://www.ridc.org.uk/2250

Very flexible rear seating in the 7 seat version to allow easy config of the space you need! Good fit for the Abiloader. Pics and other dimensions at http://www.rica.org.uk/5193

Has 2 part door and narrow boot: so not ideal for Abiloader. But we have done this car !

Pics and measures at https://www.ridc.org.uk/5685 This is an OK car for the Abiloader so long as the chair back folds down well. Not a very large boot but ok for medium sized chairs. Nice low seat for transfer.

Can for both types of chair: but need to check the wheelwell intrusion as it goes further to the rear than most: but may be able to remove some trim. FX likely to require narrow loader version. Where 7 seater need to fold rear seats out of way of course. Specs say 880 vert height in Ricability but about 30mm step up at boot floor exit.

Excellent vehicle for the Abiloader: so long as chair is not very long. Good delivery position for weak people. Better than average seat transfer height for an SUV: but still a bit of a lift from a wheelchair. Dimensions and pics for 5 seat version are at: https://www.ridc.org.uk/5603 If you have a seven seat version: check length with last row lowered / removed.

This vehicle has ample room in all dimensions: chair delivery can be set where you want. If a second row of rear seats is fitted will need to be folded down permanently or removed unless a very small chair. Boot door needs to be hatch style: not 'barn door': both have been provided so check this carefully! Ricability pics and info: 2008 model but all years will have ample room. http://www.rica.org.uk/2285

OK vehicle for the Abiloader: but check chair length. E2 Chassis 2011-17 Pics and sizes at https://www.ridc.org.uk/2806

Length to B-pillar = 2 metres This vehicle has an option where the boot can be lowered with air suspension.

Fairly shallow trunk: but do the rear seats slide? This must be the Evoque? Does not look like Full size https://www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-about/choosing-car/car/range-rover-5dr-saloon-2020

Very roomy trunk for a large wheelchair: not measured length to door but with a very tall opening will be no problem. Very high seat transfer height. http://www.rica.org.uk/4944 Earlier years may have some dimensions slightly smaller.

Not yet released.

18 model Sport measured in chch. Good sized trunk but high threshold: and transfer.

Smallish trunk size: needs smaller version of Abiloader and a not tool large a wheelchair. Trunk length an issue: needs rear seat moved forward or folded.
