Combining accessibility, comfort, and convenience, the Ford Connect Upfront Passenger WAV features a side-entry ramp and is a valuable addition to our wheelchair-accessible vehicle range here in Ireland. Designed with everyday practicality in mind, the Ford Connect Upfront allows you to travel upfront as a passenger from the comfort and security of your own wheelchair, without the need to transfer to a standard car seat.

As standard, the Ford Connect Upfront Passenger WAV offers space for the driver, one front passenger travelling in their wheelchair, and three rear passengers — all while retaining full, unmodified boot space for luggage, shopping, or mobility equipment. This clever layout means families and groups don’t have to compromise on seating capacity or storage just because one passenger travels in a wheelchair. Whether it’s the school run, a hospital appointment, or a family day out, everyone can travel together comfortably in one vehicle.

The side-entry ramp system is smooth, low-inclination, and easy to use, giving wheelchair passengers a safe and dignified way to board without the awkwardness of rear-loading. Built on Ford’s dependable Connect platform, this WAV benefits from strong reliability, efficient running costs, and the kind of build quality Irish drivers have trusted for years — all wrapped up in a vehicle purpose-built for wheelchair accessibility.
