When it comes to wheelchair-accessible vehicles, Vantage Mobility continues to lead the way. Their 2026 Northstar® conversion is an example of how modern engineering can transform mobility. Whether you’re a driver or passenger, here’s what makes this wheelchair-accessible conversion a standout.
What Is the Northstar® Conversion?
The Northstar® conversion from Vantage Mobility (VMI) is a premium side-entry wheelchair van. Instead of bulky fold-out ramps, it uses an in-floor power ramp that deploys smoothly from the van’s floor, leaving you with a spacious interior.
This interior frees up space and makes navigation inside the vehicle easier for wheelchair users.
