Citroën C5 Aircross

If you're looking for a comfortable Motability vehicle, you'll struggle to find one more suitable than the C5 Aircross. Its Citroën Advanced Comfort® features include Progressive Hydraulic Cushions, for supple suspension and therefore a smooth ride, and Advanced Comfort® Seats to make long journeys much more pleasant.

The C5 Aircross is also highly spacious and modular with individual sliding and folding rear seats, plus boot capacity ranging from 580 litres to 720 litres. The interior is easy to access too, with raised ground clearance and wide door openings.

An extensive driver assistance feature list includes coffee break alert (which detects signs of drowsy driving and alerts the driver), hill start assist and park assist. Buyers also get a choice between petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid (PHEV), so you're sure to find a model that suits your individual requirements.

Kia Picanto

Since its initial introduction in 2004, the Kia Picanto has taken the city car market by storm thanks to its sharp design and surprisingly roomy interior. Coming with five doors and five seats as standard, it's brilliantly practical for such a small car, too.

A 5-speed 1.0-litre automatic gearbox is available with the Picanto, and you get the choice of four trim levels, which, in typical Kia fashion, are all jam packed with the latest hi-tech equipment.

Entry level models come with Kia's 4.2-inch cluster display and electrically adjustable heated mirrors, while top spec model X-Line features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control, and rear parking sensors.

Vauxhall Crossland

The Vauxhall Crossland is an ideal Motability vehicle. As a compact SUV, it has strong credentials with its easy access, raised driving position and plentiful space. The 410-litre boot is almost perfectly rectangular, making it easy to stow away mobility aids such as wheelchairs or walking frames.

Some useful technology features are available too, such as the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto-compatible infotainment system that comes as standard. This allows you to use your smartphone via the vehicle's touchscreen or even with voice commands, providing complete relaxation and control.

The range also offers ergonomic front seats for added comfort and various safety features including speed sign recognition and automatic emergency braking.

Hyundai i20

The i20 is one of Hyundai's most popular Motability models, and it's not hard to see why. Edgy styling, economical engines, and class-leading technology make the i20 a joy to drive.

Powered by mild hybrid technology with a DCT automatic transmission, an effortless drive is created, and to make life even easier, SE Connect models are available with nil deposit on the scheme. Opt for the Ultimate spec, and you get blind spot collision warning, lane follow assist, and BOSE premium sound system.

There's enough room to seat five adults comfortably thanks to its long wheelbase and increased width, and boot space is a generous 351 litres.

Peugeot 208

Peugeot has taken its models to the next level in recent years with bold new styling and desirable technology, and the 208 remains one of the most popular cars in the range. The 8-speed automatic is a great option for greater efficiency and the convenience of optimised gear changes.

Many will be swayed by the 208's striking exterior design and spaceship-like i-Cockpit layout, but what makes it such a popular choice on the Motability Scheme is the sheer number of driving aids and equipment on offer. Adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and blind spot monitoring are all standard on 208 models.

Five doors make the 208 easy to get in and out of, and with 311 litres of boot space on offer (1,106 litres with the back seats folded), it knocks many of its rivals out of the park in terms of practicality.

If low emissions and running costs appeal to you, and you're thinking about going electric with your next Motability vehicle, the e-208 is also on offer with an automatic gearbox as standard.
