My father drives an smax and has no left hip, so is now a wheelchair user. He is a farmer and wants to go accross the farm so a RRS would be ideal for him.

The question I ask is what is the height from the seat to ground level in lowest mode ? Also is there an easy and quick way to make this even lower without modifying parts ?

Thanks

u can modify them to get them lower still but even in access mode its still pretty high.

Running boards may help slightly, best advice is get into a LR dealer and try one out.

Hi there,

Pretty specialist question there, with some knowledge of disability I'd say you'd be best going to a LR dealer that offers the motability service.

I drive a RRS and my partner drives a Volvo XC90. As the previous post says the RRS is pretty high even in access mode and I can tell you that the XC90 is very low by comparison and it's very good off road.

Specialist advice but moving from an SMax to a RRS or similar is a big step...

A motability dealer would be my advice...

Hope that helps

I get my 87 year old gran in fine in access mode and with steps......without the side steps I would have no chance

My mum is in a wheel chair, and to be honest even in access mode its pretty tricky getting her in, once in she loves it  If it doesnt scare you it isnt heavy enough
