Accessibility
With Freedom™ comes the ultimate safe, secure and user-friendly wheelchair travel. The innovative EasyGlide wheelchair ramp, simply pulls-out from the rear floor of the vehicle to become an ultra-strong, low-gradient ramp. It can then be folded upwards behind a wheelchair passenger or folded back into the boot floor, whenever your car is not being used with a wheelchair user. Once inside, the wheelchair is secured by high-quality front and rear wheelchair restraints, while lap and diagonal seat belts ensure maximum security for wheelchair users. Freedom™ is also tested and certified to meet the highest automotive and accessibility standards.
Seating Options
Freedom comes complete with original Ford seating and can accommodate driver, wheelchair passenger and up to four additional passengers or driver and up to six additional passengers.
