Where would you like to sit?

Engineered for premium accessibility. Designed for real life. Explore G24 NoRamp┬о access, automated features and flexible seating for the Kia Carnival and Hyundai Staria, then plan a demonstration with your own wheelchair.

Book your G24 demonstration

Choosing a G24 wheelchair conversion involves two decisions: which vehicle suits your daily travel, and where the wheelchair passenger will sit. A good comparison considers the occupied wheelchair, everyone travelling with you, your equipment and the places you park.

Gilani Engineering offers G24 NoRamp┬о conversions for the Kia Carnival and Hyundai Staria, with second-row and third-row layout options subject to the vehicle and configuration.

Meet the G24 Ultimate conversion

G24 combines NoRamp┬о access with automated features and attention to the cabin finish. The aim is a conversion that fits naturally into the vehicle and supports the journeys you make every day.

NoRamp┬о technology

An integrated floor-lowering mechanism provides rear wheelchair access without a long external ramp to unfold. You still need a clear wheelchair approach and room to operate the vehicle safely.

AutoTailgate┬о

AutoTailgate┬о provides automatic rear-tailgate operation alongside the powered access system. Experience the controls and complete entry sequence during your G24 demonstration.

MaxiPlus┬о flexible seating

MaxiPlus┬о offers flexible seating arrangements, including five seats plus a wheelchair position and a seven-seat configuration using a side-folding two-seat bench. Available occupied seating depends on the chosen layout.

A considered interior finish

G24 development includes attention to sound insulation, carpet matched to the original interior, controls and LED illumination. At your demonstration, compare the finish as well as the access and seating.

What is G24 NoRamp┬о, and how does it work?

G24 NoRamp┬о uses a powered lowering floor for rear wheelchair access, without a long external ramp to unfold.

Explore the entry sequence below or learn more about the NoRamp┬о system.

1. Prepare the access area

Park in a suitable position and prepare rear access. Use AutoTailgate┬о to open the rear door as demonstrated. Include room for the wheelchair and anyone assisting.

2. Operate the lowering system

The powered system brings the access floor down. At your demonstration, practise the controls and ask to see the operating limits and backup procedure.

3. Enter the vehicle

Observe the chair's approach and position, including footplates, headrest and any equipment. Ask where a helper should stand and how much assistance your setup requires.

4. Complete the travel setup

Follow the demonstrated sequence for restraints, raising the system and checking readiness to travel. Include all these tasks when assessing whether the setup suits your routine.

04 / Your questions

Wheelchair seating positions: frequently asked questions

Is G24 available for both Kia Carnival and Hyundai Staria?

Gilani Engineering offers G24 NoRamp┬о conversions for both. Confirm the model year, variant and proposed wheelchair layout before purchasing a vehicle or booking a conversion.

Is second-row or third-row seating better?

It depends on your priorities. Second-row seating brings the wheelchair passenger further forward. A third-row layout is worth comparing when passenger seating further forward matters. Trial the actual arrangements to check comfort, companion access and storage.

Can I keep all the original passenger seats?

Do not assume so. Ask for the proposed layout showing the seats available while the wheelchair position is occupied, including any optional folding seats and child-seat requirements.

Does NoRamp┬о mean I need no space behind the vehicle?

No. The system avoids a traditional long external rear ramp, but you still need suitable space to approach, operate the access system and enter or leave. Check your normal parking arrangements during the assessment.

What is the G24 weight capacity?

The listed capacity is 350 kg. Share the combined wheelchair, occupant and accessory load with Gilani so the operating limit for your chosen conversion can be confirmed.

Can two wheelchair users travel together?

Ultimate┬о Twin provides a layout for two wheelchair positions in selected Kia and Staria conversions. Confirm availability for the exact vehicle, both wheelchair sizes, restraint access and the seating available with both positions occupied.

Can a powered wheelchair be used?

Bring its exact model, dimensions, weight and accessories to the assessment. A тАЬpowered wheelchairтАЭ description alone does not establish fit. The occupied chair must suit the route, travelling position and nominated load limits.

Can we use an existing vehicle?

Ask for a compatibility assessment of its year, variant, condition and existing modifications. Confirm suitability before booking, and before purchasing a used vehicle for conversion.
