Wheelchair courtesy vehicle

Wheelchair courtesy vehicles make it easy for persons requiring special care to get into and out of the rear of the vehicle while seated in a wheelchair. The low floor vehicle allows the helper to easily support persons who require special care while getting in or out. This vehicle can accommodate either a manual wheelchair. Spacia, Every Wagon, and Every have a wheelchair courtesy variant.

Lifting seat type vehicle

The lifting seat type vehicle equips the passenger seat with the function to move up and down and rotate by a command switch to accommodate persons requiring special care. Since the seat can be brought into a position that makes it easy for the person requiring special care to get in and out, the stress on the helper is reduced. WagonR has a variant equipped with the lifting passenger seat.

Electric senior vehicles

Suzuki has a lineup of electric senior vehicles, which are motorized wheelchairs with a loop-shape steering handle, mainly as a means of transport for the elderly for day-to-day events such as shopping or strolls.
The electric senior vehicle equipped with a user-controlled, loop-shape steering handle was first introduced in 1985. This motorized wheelchair is mainly designed to enable seniors and people with disabilities to easily go out. It is capable of moving at adjustable speeds ranging from 1 km/h to 6 km/h. Charging involves plugging into a household 100 V power outlet. Our currently available electric senior vehicles are equipped with an obstacle detection support feature whereby a driver is alerted and their vehicle automatically slows down when obstacle sensors detect objects in the path of the vehicle.

• * Motorized wheelchairs (electric senior vehicles) are regarded as pedestrian traffic. A driver’s license is not needed.
