    I have just done this “Large” vehicle check on Motability…..i selected Large SUV and Nil advance payment Answer….No cars found. I had to go all the way upto £1500 Advance payment (which will have 20% VAT added in July) and the system came up with 1 vehicle the Jaecoo 7..you will need deep pockets to fuel that at current fuel prices.

    Thanks for checking. Just as I expected. It’s also worth keeping in mind that Motability exaggerate vehicle sizes, often classifying SUVs as ‘large’ when their industry recognised segment is ‘mid-size’ or even ‘compact’.

    Our previous Motability car was a BMW X1, the smallest SUV that BMW make, and they classified it as a ‘large’ SUV. I wondered what they would term the X3, X5 and X7 if they had been on the scheme. Probably ‘massive’, ‘enormous’ and ‘humongous’ 🤣
