Types of Cars on Motability

Small & City Motability Cars

If you need something to get you around the city, a small car is a perfect choice. Compact cars and superminis are perfect for Motability users who don’t need any major adaptations as they’re smaller and easy to drive. Their designs are typically more playful than other models too!

Smaller Motability cars tend to be more affordable, either costing less than your weekly allowance or coming with low or no Advance Payment.

They typically get a great fuel economy too as they’re lighter with smaller engines but still able to handle daily life with ease.

Their compact size makes them perfect for agile city driving. Packed city streets don’t feel claustrophobic, instead more like open country roads, and even the smallest parking spots are an option.

Small and city car boot spaces generally range from 150 to 350-litres, with some smaller models coming with four seats instead of five.

Medium cars & hatchbacks on Motability

Medium-sized cars and hatchbacks add a touch more practicality whilst staying on the smaller side. They’re perfect for people who need some more storage and a bit more passenger space inside.

There are plenty of striking styles to choose from, from more subtle designs to those with added dashes of sporty flair.

These models are also ideal for those who don’t need any major stowage adaptations, but they can still handle smaller changes.

Hatchbacks and medium-sized cars on Motability come with a range of engines. Choose from smaller, more economical engines to units packed with extra power. There’s something suited to every type of driver.

Hatchbacks come with a mix of both four and five seats, with the four-seat options giving all passengers more space on the inside.

Larger models can have up to 500-litres of boot space, more than enough room for a few medium-sized suitcases or the weekly shop.

Saloons and family Motability cars

Family cars and saloons offer extra space in every aspect. Passengers can kick back and relax in pure comfort thanks to longer, more spacious designs. Choose a practical Motability car perfect for everyday use or go for something with added style and power.

4x4s & Estates on Motability

4x4s and estates offer a lot of added practicality in terms of boot and passenger space. 4x4s are capable of handling off-road terrain with a higher ground clearance whilst estates are usually based on saloon and hatchback models.

SUVs and 4x4s come in various sizes, from smaller models to much larger cars. SUVs are ideal for those who need stowage adaptations in the boot space as there’s much more room to play with.

Estates add some extra functionality to a standard or saloon model with more room in the boot. These are also perfect for those who need boot stowage adaptations as the rear seats fold away to open up an abundance of space.

If you’re considering an estate for your Motability car and you’ve never driven one, it’s important to book a test drive around your local area.

Estate boots typically reach up to 610-litres with the rear seats up, with large SUVs offering up to 800-litres. There aren’t many daily items, small pieces of furniture and white goods you won’t be able to fit.

The larger the car, the more space you’ll have, even with a major adaption fitted in the boot.
