Best cars for Handicapped drivers/person with disability in India

Before suggesting any car for a disabled person, we must consider the idea of need. There will be numerous types of requirements with various types of disabilities and one should choose their vehicle accordingly. Budget friendly cars for handicapped people in India would be the first thing to answer, so keeping that on our priority list, we will move further with our research. To make it explicit, it would be better, if we divide each aspect and make following divisions:

Non wheelchair users – No need of boot space, Hatchback Cars

Let us assume that people who can walk in spite of disability or some impairment, they don’t require a wheelchair and that says no need for boot space, while for wheelchair users a big trunk would be preferable to carry their wheelchair along. There are so many people who suffer from one leg disability, one leg polio or they walk with callipers, usually those people don’t require a wheelchair and the hatch back cars are perfect choice for them, also in the monetary aspect.

Wheelchair users Require boot space, Sedan or Compact Sedan Cars

As discussed in the above point, wheelchair users require the boot space to keep their wheelchair in the car. There are many other ways to get your wheelchair with you, but if you can afford a Sedan, that’ll be the best for your use. Even a compact sedan or a subcompact sedan like, Honda Amaze are good options for you.

Shifting needs to be considered

When it comes to wheelchair users, there is another aspect that we must consider, the shifting part, while others can easily go and sit in a car, the wheelchair user has to struggle because of the space and height between his wheelchair and car. Usually, Sedans have a little more space between the car and wheelchair as compared to hatchbacks, but that’s not very big part of concern, but if you measure the same with an SUV, then you must have to look into that, as it has a great hight to cover and a person with weak shoulders or with heavy body might find some difficulty while getting upon the driving seat. Some people require a high sitting, as for their legs. In cars like SUVs, one could have high sitting that could help them with the space for their legs, although, sedans have much space for your legs, everyone should try options before buying a car. Choose a car that’s assessable for you, as you have to get on it every day.

Research on your Gearbox

In aspect of budget, experience and endurance, do your homework on the type of gearbox you want according to your needs. There are different types of gearboxes that are present in the market, if you’re budget oriented then you could have your hand upon AMT technology, which is budget friendly in comparison to Automatic Transmission. Just like that there are CVT, DCT, IMT, etc from which you could choose according to your own needs. We certainly do not recommend manual transmissions to persons with disability, as there are better and safer technologies in the market.

Conclusion:

With all the above observations, we can conclude that there’s no specific best car for handicapped drivers, but there’s a best way to find it out for your own need by considering all the above aspects.
