Motability Cars

For a small car, the Volkswagen Polo is very practical and has a distinctly upmarket feel to it. Two adults will be happy in the front and back seats, and the boot will also swallow a couple of large suitcases. The Polo’s comfortable on the motorway and country roads but also small enough to be easy to park in town, and its huge engine range has something for everyone. For all these reasons, it took our Little Legend award at carwow’s 2018 Car of the Year Awards.

The Mini 5-door Hatchback is a smart-looking small car that’s brilliant to drive – proving you can still have fun with a no deposit Motability car. It has a surprisingly upmarket interior with a smart dashboard made from solid-feeling plastics and leather touches in high-spec models. It is practical for a Mini, but not that great compared with other cars.

The sensible-looking Vauxhall Astra is a brilliant family car that’s well-built, practical and fun to drive. Inside, most of the plastics are soft to the touch and you get shiny trim materials. Even basic cars get Apple Carplay and Android Auto so you can use your smartphone’s apps on the car’s big screen. Best of all, you can get it on Motability with no deposit.

A range of popular SUVs are available through the Motability scheme with no advanced payment, including the excellent Kia Sportage. It’s a practical family SUV with space for four adults and a boot that’ll cope with day-to-day and big jobs in equal measure. The Sportage is a very easy car to drive and comes with a range of engines that are cheap to run.

The Hyundai Tucson is a stylish family SUV with a spacious interior and a roomy boo that equips it well for family life. It comes with plenty of equipment as standard too, and you don’t need to pay an advanced deposit if you get it through Motability. The Tucson is available with grippy four-wheel drive and a range of engines that’ll suit a variety of needs.

The BMW X1 is one of the highest-rated cars on carwow and is also offered on the Motability Scheme. It’s spacious with a back seat big enough for three adults and a big boot that’s a piece of cake to load. The X1 is easy to drive and you get a great view out, but it’s also a car you can enjoy driving on the rare occasion you get the road to yourself.

The Peugeot 3008 proves that a practical Motability Scheme car doesn’t need to be boring. The eye-catching looks don’t let up on the inside, either – you get a wraparound design, huge infotainment screens and expensive-feeling metal buttons. The 3008’s boot is one of the biggest you’ll find in a car like this and it is very easy to load.

The Volvo XC40 gets on our best Motability Scheme cars list because it has everything you expect of a Volvo – and it’s also cool. Inside, there’s space for four adults and a week’s worth of luggage, and there are loads of large storage areas hidden around the cabin. It’s a nice car to drive with a good range of options and, because it’s a Volvo, it’s also very safe.

The Volkswagen Tiguan is a great candidate for Best Mobility Car – it's posh without being flashy, it looks smart on the outside and inside you get high-quality plastics, nice looking trim pieces and seats that are firm and supportive. There's loads of space for four passengers and a boot big enough for a whole load of kit.

The Skoda Superb Estate easily makes our best mobility cars list because it’s the ultimate all-rounder. That starts with a huge boot that’ll have no problem swallowing a wheelchair or pretty much anything else. Interior quality is also brilliant and the seats comfortable. It’s a great car for long journeys thanks to its comfortable interior and great range of engines.
