Hello one and all, I’m currently in a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq and I’m looking for my next car. I use crutches almost 24/7 and they fit in the back of my car without the need to collapse them. The problem now seems to be that there are very few cars that will actually accommodate my crutches with the latest casualty being the Hyundai Kona. I’m looking for ideally an electric car or hybrid for my next car. What would people recommend?

Entirely depends on what you want to pay, and how “much” car you want.
Tucson Ultimate PHEV is great, but is quite big and quite expensive. ID3 is great, but is currently not available in top specs.
Not sure what you mean by casualty in regards to the Kona though, the Kona EV certainly seems to be on the scheme still?
edit: nvm, might’ve misunderstood you. How long are the crutches, and do they need to fit the boot or do you throw them on the rear bench?

Yeah sorry I mean that the kona is a casualty 8n that my crutches don’t fit. My crutches are under arm style so quite long, in my ioniq I can wedge them behind the front seat and rest them against the rear headrest. The id3 was a great fit for my needs but I couldn’t order before it was taken off the scheme. I don’t mind if they lay on the floor between the seats but fitting in the boot is not really an option. Thanks for suggesting the tuscon

I’m pretty sure the ID3 will come back to the scheme in Q1, so i’d keep that on the shortlist for now.
There’s also the Mokka E EV, the MG ZS, the E-Niro, MG5, Peugeot E-2008, the Renault Captur PHEV, Kia Soul EV, the 3008 225 PHEV, the Golf GTE (or eTSI), MG HS PHEV, Octavia PHEV and Kuga PHEV.
Those are the ones where i’d say that you could potentially fit your crutches (didn’t add vans and might’ve missed one or two), and are still available on the scheme. Not that much choice, you’d need to look into those. They’re all either PHEVs or full EVs.

Next: we'll see what's available in 2028.Get a car with a SKI Hatch in the rear seat and slide them in length ways down the centre of the car
That’d be putting them in the boot, which isn’t an option.

it’s mainly for ease of access as I use them to get from the house to the car and short(<50m distances).

@Xz130 would a car with roof rail/rack help at all?
