A Ford has always been one of the most dependable choices on the Motability Scheme, and the current line-up gives you plenty of ways to make it the right choice too. From the compact, award-winning Ford Puma to the all-electric Ford Explorer SUV, Ford on the Motability Scheme in 2026 mixes familiar favourites with its newest electric arrivals.
This guide walks you through the Ford Motability cars available on the Scheme this quarter, so you can match a model to your journeys, your household and the way you want to drive.
What Is the Motability Scheme?
The Motability Scheme lets you exchange all or part of your mobility allowance for a brand-new car on a worry-free lease. It is designed for disabled people and those with a long-term illness who want a straightforward way to stay mobile.
Your three-year lease wraps nearly every running cost into a single package. Insurance for up to three drivers, servicing and maintenance, breakdown cover, and tyre and windscreen cover are all included. You just pay for your fuel or charging.
You don’t need to drive yourself, either. You can nominate other drivers, so a partner, friend or family member can drive on your behalf.
You could qualify for the Motability Scheme if you receive one of the following mobility allowances and have at least 12 months’ award length remaining: Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Disability Living Allowance (DLA), War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement, or Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP). You can learn how the Motability Scheme works at Vertu before you apply.
Why Choose a Ford on the Motability Scheme?
Ford has been part of the Motability Scheme since the Scheme launched in 1977, giving you one of the deepest support networks in the industry. That history matters when you want a car that feels familiar, with specialists on hand who know the Scheme inside and out.
Ford has also leaned hard into electrification over the last few years. Petrol mild-hybrid EcoBoost power sits alongside plug-in hybrid Ford Kuga models and the all-electric Ford Explorer, so you can pick the powertrain that suits your mileage and lifestyle rather than being pushed one way or the other.
Behind the badge, Ford’s reputation for well-weighted steering and confident ride comfort still holds up. Whether it’s the agile Ford Puma or the roomier Ford Explorer, these are cars that make the everyday drive feel composed.

The 2026 Ford Motability Scheme Range
Here's a closer look at each Ford model available through the Motability Scheme this year.
Ford Puma
The Ford Puma is the UK’s best-selling small SUV, and it has earned that spot by covering the basics brilliantly.
A raised driving position makes it easier to get in and out, and the compact footprint is a natural fit for city driving. Inside, you get Ford’s SYNC 4 infotainment system, connected navigation and plenty of safety kit as standard.
The clever Ford MegaBox under the boot floor adds genuine extra storage, so the Ford Puma punches well above its weight on practicality for a small SUV. Mild-hybrid EcoBoost engines keep running costs sensible without any need to plug in.

Ford Puma ST
If you want the Ford Puma shape with a sportier edge, the Ford Puma ST is the one to look at.
It uses a performance-tuned mild-hybrid setup with 170PS, 0-62mph in 7.4 seconds and unique 19-inch wheels. You get the same compact SUV format and the same clever MegaBox, with a sharper feel on A- and B-roads.
Ford Puma ST availability on the Motability Scheme is usually narrower than the standard Ford Puma, so it is worth asking your Motability Scheme specialist to check the current price list before you set your heart on one.
Ford Kuga
The Ford Kuga is Ford’s mid-size family SUV, and the latest generation is noticeably better for 2026.
You get sharper styling, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and Ford SYNC 4 on a 13-inch touchscreen. The cabin feels a step up from the previous Ford Kuga, and the ride stays composed on longer journeys.
Powertrain choice is where the Ford Kuga really shines on the Scheme. You can pick a self-charging full hybrid for simple, plug-free motoring, or a plug-in hybrid if you want electric-only driving for the daily commute with petrol back-up for weekends. It is the all-rounder of the range for families who want flexibility.

All-Electric Ford Explorer
The Ford Explorer is Ford’s all-electric mid-size SUV, and it brings the brand’s electric vehicle offer firmly into the family car space.
Battery options stretch up to 77kWh, with a WLTP range of up to 389 miles on the right version. 185kW DC rapid charging keeps top-ups quick on longer trips, and zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving make it a strong fit for lower-emission zones and school runs alike.
Inside, the Ford Explorer leans into useful technology. A large portrait touchscreen anchors the dash, and there is a front trunk for extra storage on top of the main boot. If it is your first electric vehicle on the Motability Scheme, the Motability Scheme will arrange and cover a home chargepoint with standard installation, which takes the sting out of switching.

Ford Tourneo Connect
The Ford Tourneo Connect is Ford’s practical family MPV, built around flexible seating for up to seven.
Dual sliding side doors make loading passengers much easier in tight car parks, and the raised, upright shape gives a generous view out for everyone on board. A 10-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto handles the tech side without fuss.
If you need to carry a wheelchair, pushchair or sports kit regularly, the Ford Tourneo Connect’s boxy loadspace earns its keep every week.

Ford Tourneo Courier
The Ford Tourneo Courier takes the people-carrier recipe and gives it a more SUV-inspired look.
It pairs a tall, upright cabin with a well-finished interior and a boot that swallows an impressive amount for its footprint. If you want something easier to park than a full-size MPV, with more cabin space than a traditional small SUV, the Courier sits neatly in between.
It is a quietly sensible choice for everyday motoring, especially if your household travels light but often.

Which Ford Is Right for You?
The right Ford comes down to how you drive, how far you travel and whether you are ready to go electric. Each model in the range suits a slightly different life, so it helps to start with your everyday journeys.
If most of your driving is around town, the Ford Puma is a natural fit. Compact dimensions, easy visibility and the clever MegaBox give you a small SUV that feels much bigger inside than it looks on the drive. Prefer a sportier set-up on top of all that practicality? The Ford Puma ST delivers it in the same compact shape.
For everyday family motoring, the Ford Kuga is hard to beat. The plug-in hybrid is especially handy if you have a shorter daily commute and can charge at home, letting you cover most trips on electric power with petrol in reserve for longer runs. It is the sensible all-rounder for school runs, commutes and weekend trips alike.
Drivers ready to go fully electric will find the Ford Explorer leads the range. Up to 389 miles of WLTP range and rapid charging make it a credible family SUV for longer journeys, not just the daily school run. For a first electric car, the Scheme’s home chargepoint offer makes the switch simpler still.
When space matters more than anything, the Ford Tourneo Connect steps up with seven seats and sliding doors for larger households, while the Ford Tourneo Courier is the easier-to-park option when you don’t need the full MPV footprint.
