Automatic Conversion: The automatic rear entry Vision lowered floor minivan allows total independence! Just a press of the button and the rear hatch opens, the ramp unfolds, and the van lowers to the ground. Accessibility couldn't be simpler! The automatic rear hatch can be triggered using a keychain remote, hand-held remote or dash-mounted switch.
Independent Driver Conversion: Viewpoint Mobility offers an optional transfer seat with installations of The Vision. The transfer seat can be selected to the driver or passenger position. Combine this option with a suitable hand control system and the Vision is the perfect mobility solution for the independent wheelchair user. The transfer seat is available with a vinyl slip cover to ease transfer by reducing friction.
Manual Conversion: The beauty of the manual rear entrance lowered-floor wheelchair accessible minivan is its simplicity. There are virtually no moving parts to wear out! Simply open the rear hatch and lower the light weight aluminum ramp to the ground and you are ready to go! The ramp is even spring assisted to make it effortless to raise and lower.
Seating Options: The Vision has a variety of seating options to suit your unique mobility and capacity requirements.

Driver or Passenger Power Transfer Seat
An optional transfer seat to the driver or passenger position is available. The transfer seat is available with a vinyl slip cover to ease transfer by reducing friction.
Middle Row OEM Captain's Chairs
The optional bucket seats allow the wheelchair user to sit beside other passengers in comfort. Original equipment captain's chairs can be remounted or if more width is needed for wider wheelchairs, we offer a narrower bucket seat.

Middle row bucket seats allows over 30" of space between the bucket seats for the wheelchair user. The bucket seats are trimmed in fabric, vinyl or leather to blend with the OEM interior colors and patterns.
Folding Rear Bench
When folded down, the rear bench adds two more seats behind your wheelchair. When folded up, it allows you to get in and out. To fold the bench up, you simply pull a lever the counterbalanced bench easily hides out of the way.
