Toyota will offer vehicles with rotating seats which provide easier entry and exit for wheelchair users. In the US, the seats will be offered in the popular Sienna minivan and, in Europe, for the Corolla and Yaris Verso (minivan) models.
Toyota Shatai, the top domestic maker of vehicles for the disabled buyers, will produce the specialised parts for export.
