- Five-star NCAP safety rating
- Range up to 323 miles
- Relaxing drive, even at entry level models
With its roomy boot, SUV shape and plenty of space in the cabin, the Volkswagen ID.4 is an excellent choice to consider for a family Motability car. A comfortable drive means you can take longer trips with ease, as well as your daily driving. The five-star NCAP safety rating makes it top of the pile to choose from for keeping your family safe on every drive.
If you haven’t used an electric car before, the ID.4 is a friendly place to start easing you into the electric car life. Offering up to a generous 323 miles to a charge, using the car feels like using a petrol car in terms of charging/filling intervals.
- Five-star NCAP safety rating
- High quality interior and stylish look
- Efficient mild hybrid engine
While interior practicality is reasonable in the Peugeot 3008, this is more of a choice for those wanting high quality finishes and a modern feel. The 3008 offers a premium wow factor that stands above the rest.
From a practical point of view, the five-star NCAP safety rating and efficient mild hybrid options makes it a great option for smaller families.
- Four-star NCAP safety rating
- Great price and great economy
- Spacious interior throughout
For value, space and economy, the Mazda ZS is a great choice for a family Motability car. Considering the price, you get plenty of equipment. It’s also the biggest in its class with room in both the boot and the interior space.
While offering plenty of miles, the ZS still puts out enough power to feel the punch. You can take those day trips while enjoying the drive.
- Five-star NCAP safety rating
- Enjoyable drive while offering decent economy
- Adjustable interior such as sliding rear bench
The Ford Kuga offers a sporty feeling SUV, with an enjoyable driving feel and a full marks safety score. An adjustable sliding rear bench is a real help in terms of interior practicality and there’s plenty of room for rear passengers.
Up front, an easy-to-use infotainment system adds to the pleasant driving experience. The economy doesn’t suffer when you put your foot down in the Kuga.
- Four-star NCAP safety rating
- Spacious van-like interior
- Room for three Isofix child seats
As a van-based people carrier, the Vauxhall Combo Life is a great companion for larger families. It comes with room for up to seven people, including space for three Isofix child seats, along with sliding side doors for easy access. Handily, there’s a hinged rear screen to access the boot if there’s limited room available.
While the space in the interior is van-inspired, the drive feels more like the average family car. Even at motorway speeds, the ride is comfortable, perfect for all uses of the Combo Life.
