BraunAbility MXV Chevy Traverse

If you’ve been looking for a wheelchair accessible truck or SUV, your wait is over! BraunAbility is excited to announce we are launching a new wheelchair accessible SUV this summer.

Built on the Chevrolet Traverse,   our newest vehicle offering pairs sleek SUV styling with the roomy space of a wheelchair accessible minivan. With 46% more space at the rear cabin when compared against our Explorer wheelchair accessible SUV, you can finally own an accessible SUV without sacrificing room to maneuver.

There are even more improvements to love with our newest MXV (mobility crossover vehicle), like a wider doorway and ramp, room for three passengers in the 3rd row, and a driver-side fuel fill.
