The goal was concise. The solution, expansive. The Summit conversion delivers space in an innovative way: Through a uniquely powered fold-out ramp that delivers more interior space than competitive ramp systems. For added safety, two inch side rails keep wheelchairs securely on track. PowerKneelTM technology provides ease of access by reducing ramp angle. Tumble forward third-row seating offers more storage space. Form. Function. Harmony. In maximizing the design of our minivan, we’ve put considerable space between us and our competitors.

Distinct exterior styling presents an appearance every bit as notable as the fully automatic Northstar. Finally, freedom feels as good as it looks.
