Which car has the best disabled access?

We need to purchase a vehicle with disabled access for our daughter. She doesn't need to sit in the wheelchair to travel, but loading with the hoist into my current Ford C-Max is causing fabric damage as the wheelchair is powered and is very heavy and space is tight.

I don't want a bigger vehicle, but I would like to have a wheelchair accessible vehicle for ease of access. There are quite a lot of options, but the problem is that being based on vans the passenger threshold to front and rear are quite high. Can you recommend a vehicle with a low passenger access?

Answered by Honest John

These are all low load deck front-wheel-drive van-based MPVs. Easily as low as a C-Max. You could add the Ford Tourneo Connect to your list. New Berlingo, Partner and Caddy Maxi Life on the way.
