Travel upfront as a passenger

Upfront Passenger WAV stands for Upfront Passenger Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle. They are vehicles that are specially converted so a wheelchair user can travel comfortably in the front of the vehicle. You may also hear this type of conversion referred to as a ‘ride upfront wav’.

You will enter and exit using a ramp. As you will always be travelling with a companion, you can opt for a manual ramp with a manual side sliding door (our Ford Upfront which is side entry) or tailgate (our VW Upfront which is rear entry). Or if you prefer automation and the driver would like to make life a little easier, you can choose an automated ramp and side sliding door/ or automated ramp and tailgate.

Yes of course. There is space for two rear passengers in the Sirus Ford Drive / Upfront and in the Sirus Ford Upfront there is space for up to five people. In the Sirus VW Upfront there is space for one rear passenger as standard, with the option of fitting up to two tip-up seats, which means you have space for you, plus the driver and three rear passengers.
