Permobil's compact M4 Nexa power wheelchair begins phased rollout November 1

Permobil's M4 Nexa, a compact mid-wheel power wheelchair announced September 23, 2026, starts a phased launch on November 1, 2026 in Germany, France, Switzerland, the UK, Ireland and Australia, with further markets through 2027. Seat widths run 12 to 22 inches, seat depths 10 to 22 inches, seat-to-floor height goes as low as 15 inches, and the base measures 21.5 by 33.5 inches with a 21.1-inch turning radius. In the Americas, Permobil expects availability through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs after anticipated FDA 510(k) clearance (the release targeted early October 2026), with full U.S. and Canada commercial availability planned for January 2027.

Why it matters. Complex-rehab dealers serving adolescents and smaller adults get a full-power-seating option on a compact base, but U.S. orders outside the VA wait until January 2027.
