Powered Folding Wheelchair Ramp
The Summit features a powered fold-out wheelchair ramp that provides convenient side-entry access.
Two-inch side rails along the ramp help keep a wheelchair properly positioned during entry and exit. The raised edges can be particularly helpful for wheelchair users who have difficulty navigating an incline.
When the ramp is folded away, the design helps preserve usable interior space within the vehicle.
Convenient Power Door Controls
The Summit’s power sliding door can be operated using convenient controls inside the vehicle as well as the Dodge key fob.
These controls make it easier for wheelchair users and caregivers to open and close the accessible side door without having to manually operate it.
PowerKneel Lowering System
The PowerKneel™ system lowers the vehicle when the ramp is deployed, reducing the angle of the wheelchair ramp.
By bringing the vehicle closer to the ground, the system helps create a more gradual path for wheelchair entry and exit.
Flexible Interior Space
The Summit is designed to maximize usable interior space while maintaining wheelchair accessibility.
Its flexible seating configuration can provide additional room for passengers, wheelchairs, and mobility equipment. Tumble-forward third-row seating can also be used to create additional cargo and storage space when the seats are not needed.
A Quieter Ride
The Summit incorporates an anti-rattle system designed to reduce noise from the wheelchair ramp while the vehicle is in motion.
Combined with the Dodge minivan platform, this helps create a more comfortable environment for everyday driving.
Clean Ramp Access
The Summit ramp features a surface designed to allow dirt and debris to pass through rather than being carried into the vehicle.
This can help keep the interior cleaner during everyday use, particularly when the vehicle is used in wet or dirty conditions.
Increased Headroom
The Summit features an approximately 11-inch dropped FLEX Floor, creating additional head clearance throughout the accessible area of the vehicle.
The dropped floor also provides more usable space for wheelchair maneuverability inside the vehicle.
Actual clearance requirements can vary depending on the wheelchair, seating position, and individual user.
Practical Accessibility for Everyday Transportation
The VMI Summit combines a powered folding ramp, PowerKneel™ technology, flexible seating, and increased interior space to create a practical wheelchair-accessible minivan.
Whether you’re transporting a wheelchair user, caregiver, family members, or mobility equipment, the Summit is designed to provide convenient access without sacrificing the versatility of a minivan.
