When it comes to wheelchair accessible minivans, few platforms have earned the trust of mobility consumers and conversion specialists alike the way Chrysler has. At Bettenhausen Mobility in Orland Park, Illinois, we carry a carefully curated selection of Chrysler Pacifica and Chrysler Voyager wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs) converted by industry leaders BraunAbility and Vantage Mobility. Whether you’re in Tinley Park, Joliet, Naperville, or anywhere across the south and southwest suburbs of Chicago, our team is here to help you find the accessible minivan that fits your life, your mobility needs, and your budget.
The Chrysler Pacifica has become the gold standard for wheelchair accessible vehicle conversions in the United States — and for good reason. Its spacious interior, wide sliding door opening, and robust chassis provide the ideal foundation for professional lowered-floor conversions. Once converted, the Pacifica offers full standing headroom for most wheelchair users, a smooth ramp deployment experience, and rear climate control to keep every passenger comfortable on every ride.
Chrysler engineered the Pacifica with an unusually flat floor and a wide cabin, which allows conversion specialists to lower the floor significantly without compromising structural integrity or ride quality. The result is a vehicle that accommodates a broad range of manual and power wheelchairs, as well as many scooters, with ease. Tie-down securement systems keep the wheelchair firmly in place, and built-in restraint positions are strategically designed to meet federal safety standards.
Beyond its practical strengths, the Pacifica is also a genuinely pleasant vehicle to ride in and drive. Features like a rear entertainment system, ample storage, and modern driver-assist technology mean that accessibility doesn’t require sacrificing comfort or convenience. For families, caregivers, and individuals who use wheelchairs, the converted Chrysler Pacifica delivers a mobility solution that integrates seamlessly into everyday life — school runs, medical appointments, road trips, and everything in between.
If you’re searching for a Chrysler Pacifica wheelchair van in Illinois, or a BraunAbility Pacifica near Orland Park, Bettenhausen Mobility is your local source for these trusted, professionally converted vehicles.
The conversion is what transforms a standard Chrysler minivan into a fully accessible wheelchair vehicle. At Bettenhausen Mobility, we offer Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager WAVs converted by BraunAbility and Vantage Mobility — two of the most respected names in the industry. Each conversion system has distinct advantages, and the right choice depends on how you plan to use the vehicle, who will be operating it, and individual preference for ramp style and operation.
The BraunAbility E2 conversion features a side-entry fold-out ramp that deploys from the vehicle’s doorway and unfolds onto the ground. When stowed, the ramp folds up and sits inside the door opening, keeping the interior floor clear. The E2 is a strong choice for users who value simplicity, reliability, and a lower overall vehicle profile. Because the ramp folds out rather than retracting into the floor, the E2 tends to require less floor lowering, which can be advantageous in certain situations. It is well-suited for locations where you have consistent, level ground for ramp deployment — such as home driveways, parking lots, and accessible parking spaces.
The BraunAbility XT features a fully automatic power ramp that retracts flush into the lowered floor when not in use. With the touch of a button — either from the key fob, the interior control panel, or a remote — the ramp glides out smoothly and lays flat at the appropriate angle for boarding. The in-floor design means the interior floor remains completely open and unobstructed, making it easier for wheelchair users to maneuver inside the van. The XT is ideal for users who are operating the vehicle independently or with a caregiver who benefits from hands-free ramp deployment. It’s one of the most popular conversions on the market for good reason: it combines convenience, reliability, and a clean interior experience.
The BraunAbility XI builds on the XT platform with an enhanced conversion that provides additional floor lowering and refined ergonomics. The XI is designed for users who need extra clearance for taller power wheelchairs or those with specific positioning requirements. Like the XT, the XI uses a fully automatic in-floor ramp system, but the increased floor drop and enhanced fit-and-finish make it the premium choice in the BraunAbility lineup for the Pacifica. If maximum headroom and the smoothest possible boarding experience are priorities, the XI delivers at the highest level.
Vantage Mobility International (VMI) also converts the Chrysler Pacifica with a selection of side-entry and rear-entry ramp systems. VMI’s conversions are well-regarded for their engineering precision and durability. The rear-entry option is particularly popular among users who need to remain in their wheelchair in the front passenger or driver position, as it allows for different interior configurations. Our team at Bettenhausen Mobility can walk you through the specific VMI conversions we have in stock and help you compare them against BraunAbility options.
For shoppers who want the proven Chrysler minivan platform at a more accessible entry point, the Chrysler Voyager is worth serious consideration. The Voyager shares its core architecture with the Pacifica and accepts many of the same professional conversions, including BraunAbility and the Driverge Patriot side-entry power ramp system. It’s a capable, roomy minivan that delivers the same lowered-floor, full-headroom accessibility in a more value-oriented package. If budget is a priority — or if you’re exploring our vehicles priced under $30K — the Chrysler Voyager is a strong candidate.
Bettenhausen Mobility has been serving the disability community across Orland Park and the greater Chicagoland area for years, and we approach every sale as a long-term relationship. We understand that choosing a wheelchair accessible vehicle is one of the most important decisions a family or individual can make, which is why we go beyond the traditional dealership experience to support you at every step.
One of our most valued services is the at-home needs assessment. Rather than asking you to come to us and figure out your needs in a parking lot, we’ll come to you. Our mobility specialists will evaluate your home environment, your wheelchair or scooter, your transfer method, and your daily routines — then recommend the Chrysler conversion that genuinely fits your life. This level of personalized consultation is rare in the industry, and it reflects our commitment to getting it right the first time.
We also offer comprehensive financing options through our on-site finance center, including adaptive equipment grants and assistance navigating VA benefits and state mobility assistance programs. All Chrysler wheelchair accessible vehicles we sell carry the Chrysler factory warranty, giving you manufacturer-backed confidence in your investment. Our service center is staffed by certified mobility technicians who specialize in WAV maintenance, ramp service, and tie-down system inspection — so your vehicle stays road-ready long after the sale.

Both the Chrysler Pacifica and the Chrysler Voyager share the same core minivan architecture and accept professional wheelchair accessible conversions with lowered floors, power ramps, and full headroom. The Pacifica is Chrysler’s flagship minivan and tends to come with more standard features, more powertrain options, and a wider variety of available conversions — including the full BraunAbility E2, XT, and XI lineup as well as Vantage Mobility systems. The Voyager is a more budget-conscious option that still delivers the essential accessibility features you need, often with conversions such as the BraunAbility system and the Driverge Patriot side-entry ramp. If features and conversion variety are priorities, the Pacifica is typically the better choice. If value and affordability are the primary drivers, the Voyager is worth a close look. Our team is happy to walk you through both side by side.
The BraunAbility E2 uses a fold-out ramp that deploys from the side-entry door opening — it’s mechanically straightforward, reliable, and well-suited for users who will always have level ground available. The XT upgrades to a fully automatic power in-floor ramp that disappears into the lowered floor when not in use, leaving the interior completely clear for wheelchair maneuvering. The XI is the premium tier of the in-floor lineup, offering greater floor lowering and enhanced ergonomics for users with taller power chairs or more specific positioning needs. In general, the E2 is the value-friendly option, the XT is the most popular choice for everyday use, and the XI is the top-of-line selection for users who need maximum clearance and refinement.
Side-entry and rear-entry conversions each serve different needs. Side-entry ramps — the most common configuration on Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager WAVs — deploy through the sliding door and are ideal in most parking situations, including standard accessible parking spaces. They allow the wheelchair user to board from the side of the vehicle without needing to approach from behind. Rear-entry conversions deploy from the back of the vehicle and are popular for users who remain in their wheelchair in the front passenger position, since this configuration frees up more interior space. However, rear-entry requires more room behind the vehicle for ramp deployment, which can be limiting in tight parking lots. Our mobility specialists can help you assess your daily environments and determine which entry style will work best for your routine.
Yes — and we’d encourage it. Experiencing a WAV in person, including deploying the ramp and loading a wheelchair, is the best way to confirm that a particular conversion is the right fit. You can visit us at 15941 S 94th Ave in Orland Park, or we can arrange an at-home assessment where our mobility specialists bring the vehicle to you. This is especially valuable for evaluating how the ramp deployment works in your specific driveway or garage setup. Call our sales team at (708) 460-5337 to schedule an appointment or ask about at-home demonstrations.
Absolutely. Financing a wheelchair accessible vehicle often involves more options than a standard auto purchase — including VA adaptive equipment grants, state mobility assistance programs, nonprofit grants, and manufacturer financing. Our finance team is experienced in navigating all of these pathways. You can visit our finance center to learn more, or apply for financing online to get started from the comfort of home. We’ll work with you to identify every available resource and structure a payment plan that works for your situation.
Chrysler wheelchair accessible vehicles sold at Bettenhausen Mobility come with the Chrysler factory warranty on the base vehicle, giving you manufacturer-backed coverage on the powertrain and major vehicle systems. The conversion components — ramp, floor, tie-down systems — are covered under the conversion manufacturer’s warranty (BraunAbility or Vantage Mobility), which are among the strongest in the industry. Our on-site service center is staffed by certified mobility technicians who can handle warranty repairs, routine maintenance, and ramp service for both the base vehicle and the conversion. You can reach our service team at (708) 532-9600 or visit the service center page to schedule an appointment.
