Ford Connect Avance™ is the fantastic new addition to our range of drive-from and upfront passenger wheelchair accessible vehicles.
Based on the Ford Connect Titanium, Avance™ opens up a world of independent driving from your wheelchair or powerchair or the option to travel alongside the driver in the front passenger position, while remaining in your wheelchair or powerchair.
With the push of a button on your key fob, the tailgate will automatically open and simultaneously deploy the low-incline wheelchair ramp for quick and easy wheelchair access, before your chair is safely secured for travelling.
Model Options
Depending on your requirements, you can drive Avance™ from the comfort of your wheelchair or travel in the front seat as a passenger in your wheelchair.
