Important: SpaceTourer WAV dimensions and seating arrangements vary according to the conversion. Always check the wheelchair, wheelchair user's seated height, passenger requirements and accessibility dimensions against the individual vehicle before purchasing.
Is the Citroën SpaceTourer a Good Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle?
For buyers who need more room than a compact WAV can provide, the Citroën SpaceTourer can be an excellent option.
Its larger body provides considerably more scope for combining wheelchair space with conventional passenger seating. This can be especially useful if the wheelchair user normally travels with family members, carers or other passengers.
Many SpaceTourer WAV conversions provide rear ramp access into a lowered-floor wheelchair travelling area.
The additional cabin space can also make the SpaceTourer particularly worth considering for:
- Larger manual wheelchairs
- Powered wheelchairs and powerchairs
- Taller wheelchair users
- Families needing several passenger seats
- Carers travelling with a wheelchair user
- Care homes and professional care providers
- People carrying additional mobility or medical equipment
- Buyers regularly making long-distance journeys
However, the SpaceTourer's larger size will not automatically make it suitable for every wheelchair.
The individual conversion still needs to be checked carefully.
Who Is a Citroën SpaceTourer WAV Best For?
A SpaceTourer WAV is particularly worth considering when space and passenger capacity are more important than having the smallest possible vehicle.
It may suit:
- A wheelchair user who travels with several family members
- A wheelchair user requiring greater headroom
- Larger powered wheelchairs
- Families with children
- Carers accompanying a wheelchair user
- Care homes
- Community transport organisations
- Buyers carrying mobility or medical equipment
- People regularly travelling longer distances
- Buyers wanting an automatic WAV
- People who have found smaller WAVs too restrictive
One of the biggest advantages of this class of WAV is that the wheelchair passenger does not necessarily have to consume most of the available passenger capacity.
Depending on the conversion, several seated passengers can travel alongside the wheelchair user.
Who Might Be Better Suited to a Smaller WAV?
More space is not always better.
A smaller wheelchair accessible vehicle such as a Citroën Berlingo may make more sense if:
- Only one or two other passengers normally travel
- The wheelchair is relatively compact
- Town driving makes up most journeys
- Parking in tight spaces is important
- The vehicle needs to fit easily onto a short driveway
- Purchase and running costs are a major consideration
- The extra interior capacity of the SpaceTourer would rarely be used
The best WAV is the smallest vehicle that comfortably and safely meets all of the wheelchair user's actual requirements.
For some buyers that will be a Berlingo.
For others, the extra space of the SpaceTourer can make a significant difference.
Citroën SpaceTourer WAV Dimensions
There is no single set of wheelchair-access dimensions that applies to every Citroën SpaceTourer WAV.
The original vehicle is modified by specialist wheelchair-accessible vehicle converters. Changes to the floor, ramp, wheelchair position and seating mean accessibility measurements vary between conversions.
For example, one Citroën SpaceTourer M conversion has published measurements of:
| Measurement | Example SpaceTourer WAV dimension |
| Wheelchair entry height | 1,480 mm |
| Lowered-floor width | 835 mm |
| Wheelchair travelling-position headroom | 1,445 mm |
| Wheelchair travelling-position width | 660 mm |
| Wheelchair travelling-position floor length | 1,197 mm |
| Vehicle length | 4,956 mm |
| Vehicle length with ramp deployed | 6,412 mm |
| Vehicle width including mirrors | 2,204 mm |
| Vehicle height | 1,890 mm |
These are example figures from one particular conversion and must not be assumed to apply to every used Citroën SpaceTourer WAV.
Different conversions can provide different wheelchair positions, seating layouts, ramp dimensions and usable wheelchair space.
Always check the measurements of the exact vehicle you are considering.
How Much Headroom Does a Citroën SpaceTourer WAV Have?
Headroom is one of the SpaceTourer's main attractions for wheelchair users who find compact WAVs restrictive.
One current SpaceTourer conversion provides approximately 1,440–1,445 mm of headroom around the wheelchair travelling position.
This can make the SpaceTourer particularly worth considering for taller wheelchair users or wheelchairs fitted with specialist seating systems.
However, two measurements need to be considered separately:
Entrance height
The wheelchair user must be able to enter the vehicle without their head or specialist seating equipment contacting the opening.
Internal travelling height
Once inside, there must also be sufficient clearance in the designated wheelchair travelling position.
A vehicle can have generous cabin headroom but a more restrictive entrance, which is why both measurements matter.
How Do I Know Whether the Wheelchair User Is Too Tall?
Measure the wheelchair user while seated naturally in the actual wheelchair they will use.
Measure vertically from the ground to the highest point of:
- The person's head
- Headrest
- Specialist seating system
- Any other permanently fitted equipment
This is the overall seated height.
Compare that measurement with the entrance and internal-height specifications of the actual WAV.
