This is an important consideration for anyone who frequently uses mobility aids or assists someone who does.
Dependable - Hatchbacks are known for their reliability. They are designed to last and tend to have fewer mechanical problems compared to other car types, giving you peace of mind as you travel. Whether you're heading to appointments, visiting family, or taking a day trip, you can rely on your hatchback to get you there smoothly.
Efficient - Plus, hatchbacks offer great fuel efficiency, potentially lowering your overall running costs. This makes them a sensible long-term option for Motability drivers looking to maximise their mobility budget.
Flexibility for diverse needs - The Motability scheme takes into account that everyone's needs are different. If you’re unable to drive yourself, you can nominate up to three drivers to share the responsibility. Whether it’s a family member, a friend, or a carer driving you, a hatchback offers the flexibility needed to suit your unique lifestyle. Hatchbacks handle both short and long journeys equally well meaning that they are suitable for all drivers and distances.

How to choose the right Motability Scheme hatchback for you?

Before you commit to a car on the Motability Scheme, it’s important to make sure it is the right one for you as you’ll have it for the next 3 years. luckily, hatchbacks are a really decent all rounder so you aren’t likely to run into any issues but here are some things you’ll want to check to make sure you are picking the right hatchback for you on the Motability Scheme:

Check the boot space - Check the measurements of the boot to see if it has enough room for any mobility equipment or aids. Ensure that the cargo space gives you easy loading and unloading access.
Vehicle size and accessibility - Hatchbacks come in different sizes so it’s best to make sure the car’s size and dimensions fit your parking, storage and usage needs. If you need extra space then a larger hatchback like the Volkswagen Golf will be your best bet.
Explore door options - You have a variety of door options with hatchbacks. 3 door hatchbacks provide wider door opening and further back seatbelt positioning whilst 4 door options offer easier access for all passengers, particularly useful if you frequently travel with family or other companions.
Passenger capacity and seat compositions - Hatchbacks often come with the option to put seats down to create additional space which is great if you need more storage room in the car for transporting items. it is important to consider this against the number of passengers you are most likely to transport and check there is room for them without compromising on space for any equipment you may need. if you can only transport your equipment with all the seats down and then can’t fit your passengers in - you might need to look at something a bit larger!
