Wheelchair Accessible Peugeot Partner: Three, Four or Five Seats?

Choosing the right wheelchair accessible Partner comes down to your passenger’s comfort and your everyday needs. You’ll want enough space for the wheelchair user, plus room for additional passengers when required. Below you’ll find a concise comparison—based on the Partner but equally valid for Citroën Berlingo, Ford Tourneo Connect or Fiat Doblo conversions—to help you decide.

Three-Seat Partner

This is the most straightforward layout and often the best entry point. Without extra brackets in the floor, the ramp area feels more spacious and the wheelchair user sits closer to the cabin.

  1. Lower cost than other layouts
  2. Extra forward space for the wheelchair passenger
  3. No folded seats behind wheelchair user
  4. Wider clearance for wheelchair or compact mobility scooter
  1. Fixed rear seat needs tools to remove
  2. Narrower seat padding
  3. Maximum three occupants when no wheelchair is aboard

  2. Standard-width single rear seat when in WAV mode
  3. 60/40 folding or removal of rear seats, no tools required
  4. Quick switch between car and WAV configurations
  5. Early models let you fold only the centre seat for extra flexibility
  1. Higher price than three-seat model
  2. Slightly reduced ramp area length
  3. Wheelchair user faces folded seats unless removed
  4. Narrower space beside rear seats in WAV mode
  5. Limited fit for larger scooters

Four-Seat Partner

The four-seat layout blends features of the three- and five-seat models. With seats mounted at the sides, the wheelchair bay gains extra forward space while still carrying four people.

  1. Seats four plus a wheelchair passenger or scooter
  2. Improved forward clearance over five-seat model
  3. No folded seats behind wheelchair user
  1. Narrower rear seats
  2. Fixed seats require tools for removal
  3. Reduced width between seats for larger chairs
  4. Fewer used examples, which can mean a premium price
