what cars can you get on mobility

Most people asking “what cars can you get on Motability / mobility?” are really asking about the UK Motability Scheme, where you lease a new car using a qualifying disability benefit. The exact list changes every quarter, but there are clear patterns in what you can get and how to check the latest options.

Quick Scoop

• You can get everything from small city cars and automatics to family SUVs and some electric cars on Motability.

• The actual cars available change frequently, so you always need to check the live Motability price list or a specialist Motability search site.

• Your choice depends on your benefit eligibility, budget for any Advance Payment, and what adaptations or space you need (e.g. wheelchair, scooters, WAV).

What “mobility cars” usually means

When people say “mobility car” in the UK, they almost always mean a vehicle leased through the Motability Scheme using Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP), or similar benefits.

• You exchange the mobility component of your benefit to lease a new car, usually for three years (longer for Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles).

• Insurance, servicing, tyres, breakdown cover, and road tax are normally included, which is why it feels very different from a typical private lease.

Types of cars you can get

The scheme now covers a very wide range of cars, from small hatchbacks to big family SUVs and EVs.

• Small/compact cars : Ideal for town driving and easier parking; many are automatic and some hybrids.

• Family hatchbacks and SUVs : Nissan Juke, Renault Captur, Hyundai Tucson–type cars, often with options under a £1,500 Advance Payment depending on spec.

• Electric and hybrid cars : Models like Mini Countryman Electric, Kia EV4, Skoda Enyaq and other longer‑range EVs are appearing with varying Advance Payments.

In 2026 there is a big push towards EVs and modern hybrids on the scheme, so expect more electric SUVs and crossovers than a few years ago.

Examples of what’s on now (2026 flavour)

Exact models and prices will vary by quarter, but current lists highlight several popular categories.

• Under about £500 Advance Payment you might see things like Nissan Qashqai, Vauxhall Mokka, Hyundai Inster and lower‑spec EVs such as certain Kia models.

• Under about £1,500 Advance Payment there are often bigger SUVs and better‑spec EVs like Skoda Enyaq, Ford Kuga, Toyota Corolla hybrid and similar.

• New and upcoming additions discussed for 2026 include BYD Atto 2, Chery Tiggo 7/8, Kia EV5/EV4 and new compact EVs like the latest Renault Twingo E‑Tech.

These are illustrations of the kind of cars you can get rather than a full list; Motability’s own site and specialist Motability comparison sites always have the definitive live lineup.

How to check what you can get

Because the scheme updates regularly, the best way to answer “what cars can you get on mobility?” for your situation is to look up the current live list.

• Go to the official Motability car search and filter by: body style, fuel type (petrol/diesel/hybrid/EV), gearbox, budget for Advance Payment, and adaptations.

• Use independent Motability search tools (such as Motaclarity and similar sites) for easier comparison of specs, trim levels and upcoming models.

• If you need specific adaptations (hand controls, hoists, wheelchair‑accessible conversions), look specifically at WAV and adaptation‑ready listings.

TL;DR: You can get hundreds of different cars on mobility/Motability, from small hatchbacks to big 7‑seat SUVs and long‑range EVs, but the exact list changes all the time, so always check the latest Motability search and price lists to see what’s available right now.
