Volkswagen Caddy proves to be perfect wheelchair conversion partner

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, in partnership with Sirus Automotive, the U.K.'s leading provider of 'drive-from' wheelchair and wheelchair passenger Up-Front vehicles, has launched the very first wheelchair conversion of its petrol-powered Caddy. 

The unique offer has been developed using the brand's latest generation Caddy model, providing customers who are looking for a more realistic 'car driving' experience the option to select a petrol model for the very first time. Sirus offers three Caddy variants: the Caddy Transfer, Caddy Drive and Caddy Up-Front, all offering a superior experience for wheelchair users, whether they are a passenger or driver.

The converted Volkswagen Caddy Up-Front, can accommodate most power and manual chairs allowing the passenger to travel next to the driver in complete comfort. As standard, the conversion incorporates an ergonomically redesigned centre console, a shallow ramp (nine degrees), unique gripping surface technology and a fully automated remote tailgate and ramp system with lowering suspension for easy access.

A range of options such as alloy wheels, tyre packages, body styling enhancements and custom audio packages allowing customers to create the ultimate in wheelchair accessible transport.
