More Room. More Maneuverability. More Style.

A true game-changer in accessible travel, the BraunAbility Chevy Traverse wheelchair SUV offers 46% more interior space than Braun’s previous Ford Explorer conversion—and nearly matches the interior room of a Toyota Sienna. This spacious design can comfortably seat up to seven passengers, including up to four wheelchair users. With its sleek, modern exterior and refined interior styling, the Traverse is not only practical—it’s a bold, stylish choice that turns heads wherever you go.

The Traverse Handicap SUV Features a Power In-Floor Wheelchair Ramp

The BraunAbility Chevy Traverse wheelchair-accessible SUV features a power in-floor ramp system that discreetly stows beneath the floor when not in use—maximizing interior space and maintaining a clear entryway for ambulatory passengers. With a 1,000 lb. weight capacity and a 30.25-inch usable width, the ramp is built to handle today’s larger power wheelchairs with ease. The 54.5-inch door opening height accommodates taller, seated passengers. For added peace of mind, the Traverse includes backup power and a manual ramp override system in case of electrical failure, ensuring continued accessibility at all times.
