Kia Soul Wheelchair Conversion



For those looking into a new vehicle, Freedom Motors has created a rear-entry conversion for the Kia Soul.    As you can see in the clip above, much of the styling of this vehicle has ben retained and their is an abundance of room to fit a wheelchair in the back of the car.  The rear door and ramp can be manually operated or powered with the option of a transfer seat for the driver.  The major note of interest is that this appears to be an Australian-specification Kia Soul with no indication that this conversion will be considered in the United States.  If this conversion was available in the US, it could serve as a nice alternative to the Scion xB conversion.  Check out the clip and enjoy!

  3. What an ingenious idea from Kia! Now, people with disability can enjoy a ride with this adorable vehicle. But what I love about this vehicle is it looks lightweight. It is ideal for family members who want to drive around their disabled relatives, but don’t want to drive a larger wheelchair accessible van.
