Toyota Hybrid Wheelchair Van Comparison Guide

The visible and not-so-visible differences that clearly set BraunAbility above the competition.

ManeuverAble - Expertly Engineered to Maximize Space Where It Matters

Doorway and Ramp Width: Sliding door extends almost two extra inches giving more room to enter and exit for even the largest power wheelchairs.

Competition: No doorway extension means limited access for many customers.

Maximized Interior Space: An expertly designed suspension maximized interior space, resulting in a roomy 59” turning diameter and effortless maneuverability.

Competition: Rear corner plastics intrude significantly into the cabin, limiting maneuverability and adding valuable time to each entry and exit.

Extra-Wide Front Seating Positions: A creatively redesigned center console creates an over 3” width advantage at both front seat positions.

Competition: The blocky standard console leaves limited room for a driver or passenger to squeeze into place

 


DriveAble - Designed for the Independent Driver

Comfortable, Convenient Console: Not only does the contoured console allow for easy positioning and an extra 3” behind the steering wheel, but it also features easy-to-access controls, charging ports, and two cupholders.

Competition: Drivers will notice less width behind the steering wheel as well as inconveniently located controls and ports which may be unreachable for some. 

Add-On Equipment Capable: We relocated the high voltage battery to the rear of the vehicle, which allows easy installation of add-on equipment, such as transfer seat bases and lockdown systems. 

Competition: The high voltage battery remains in the front of the vehicle, in many cases prohibiting the installation of necessary add-on equipment. 

Armrests for the Long Haul: Toyota Sienna armrests have been added to both the driver and passenger front seats for added comfort and assistance. 

Competition: No armrests mean less comfort and support for drivers or passengers.


ComfortAble-Designed with the Extras You Deserve

Soft Glow Lighting: Industry-first LED lighted ramp and interior lighting provide an easy-on-the-eyes glow to softly illuminate the way ahead. 

Competition: Bright lighting shining upward may be too harsh for some passengers.

Easy-to-Use, Full-Length Footrest: All-new rotating footrest provides riding comfort for 3rd-row passengers and is easier than ever to operate

Competition: Narrow application serves fewer passengers.

Your BraunAbility Toyota was designed to accommodate extra comforts and conveniences, like remote keyless entry and ramp operation, a factory-installed tow package, removable rear bench seat for added space, heated seats on XLE package and above, and ventilated seats on Limited packages.

Safety and Dependability Ahead of Headlines

While other converters may catch your attention with new feature call-outs, they’re likely doing so by trading a critical need or cutting corners. The AWD Toyota Hybrid WAV on the market today has several limitations, including cramped cabin space, inability to support bolt-on accessible equipment, a higher vehicle stance, and a significantly increased price. Here’s more to consider:

  • The BraunAbility Hybrid can safely carry an additional 22% more weight than the competitor’s vehicle due to the extra weight of an AWD chassis, especially when combined with the heavier infloor conversion.
  • BraunAbility retains the OEM spare tire; the competition chose to remove it completely.
  • BraunAbility does not offer interchangeable front seating because it would alter or disable the course of the vehicle’s airbag deployment. We put your safety first.
  • Our internal testing reveals wheel well covers accelerate corrosion and rust on the chassis because they trap debris and moisture.
