Caddy Maxi Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle

The B-Active Caddy Maxi offers plenty of space — one of the key reasons why the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi, combined with the B-Style conversion kit, is a popular choice as a wheelchair accessible vehicle for private use. Its spacious interior truly opens up the world for wheelchair users.

Thanks to the smart pop-up ramp with a gentle incline, entry is smooth and easy. The ramp automatically rises and requires minimal effort to operate, making it especially user-friendly for elderly drivers or caregivers.

Caddy Maxi Wheelchair Taxi

Transporting wheelchair passengers daily and intensively? The new Volkswagen Caddy Maxi is ideal for professional use as a wheelchair taxi, thanks to the high-quality B-Active wheelchair conversion. Extensive durability testing ensures the reliability of all components, including the ramp and locking mechanism. This allows you to operate the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi as a wheelchair taxi for many years, worry-free.

Ease of use is a top priority — for example, the belts can be attached to the wheelchair outside the vehicle. A built-in safety feature prevents the wheelchair from rolling backward on the ramp, allowing only upward movement. Convenient and safe! When no wheelchair passenger is on board, the pop-up ramp can be folded inside to create more luggage space.

Configurations

Everyone can come along! The original rear bench seat remains in the Caddy Maxi and can still be used while transporting a wheelchair passenger. In the standard (non-extended) Caddy, part of the bench must be folded down.

In the Caddy Maxi, you can transport up to 5 passengers plus 1 wheelchair user. Need more space? There’s an option to add two individual seats in the third row, allowing for a total of 7 passengers. When a wheelchair passenger is on board, these third-row seats can simply be folded away.

Thanks to the B-Active conversion kit, the Caddy Maxi is highly versatile and ready for any situation!

B-Active Caddy Maxi Variants

You can choose between two versions of the B-Active VW Caddy Maxi: Diesel/Petrol or Hybrid.

B-Active Caddy Maxi Diesel/Petrol

This Maxi can be converted into a wheelchair-accessible vehicle in just 24 hours — a major advantage for conversion companies. This speed is possible because the original fuel tank is retained, requiring fewer parts. As a result, this kit is also highly cost-effective. The Caddy Maxi Diesel/Petrol is most commonly used for professional purposes such as taxi services.

B-Active Caddy Maxi eHybrid

B-Style also offers a suitable conversion kit for the plug-in hybrid version of the Caddy Maxi. Since the battery pack remains completely intact during the conversion, the factory warranty is fully preserved. For the eHybrid, B-Style has developed a custom fuel tank that is installed elsewhere under the Caddy Maxi. As a result, the installation of this B-Active kit takes more time compared to the petrol or diesel version.

Personalisation Options for the Caddy Wheelchair Vehicle

There are several ways to personalise your Volkswagen Caddy Maxi wheelchair vehicle. You can choose a high-quality, wear-resistant vinyl floor. The sides of the conversion are finished with stainless steel trim for a sleek and durable look.

For added visibility in the dark, an LED strip is available that automatically lights up when the ramp is lowered. The ramp can be operated more easily thanks to an integrated gas spring. The ultra-light taxi ramp automatically folds upward from its flat, folded position, allowing it to be tilted with minimal effort. Its user-friendly design means the ramp is easy to operate and lift — no strength required!

Additionally, two foldable seats can be added in the third row, allowing the Caddy Maxi to accommodate up to 7 people, or 5 passengers plus 1 wheelchair user.

Installation

To convert a Volkswagen Caddy into a wheelchair accessible vehicle, a section of the floor is precisely cut out. B-Style provides a custom template to ensure the opening is perfectly sized. This allows the B-Style kit to fit seamlessly into the Caddy Maxi, resulting in a lower entry point and more space for the wheelchair passenger.

All components required for the conversion are included — such as ramp, seatbelts, and all necessary mounting materials. In series production, the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi can be fully converted with the B-Active kit in just 16 to 24 hours, depending on the model. No welding is required.

Volkswagen Premium Partner +LONO

B-Style is a Premium Partner of Volkswagen. This means Volkswagen officially recognizes B-Style as a trusted and approved conversion partner.

The B-Active kit for the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi comes with a Letter of Non-Objection (LONO), ensuring that the vehicle’s factory warranty remains valid after the conversion.
