To me, this feels like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Agreed. I had steps on a Honda CRV - the only time my feet ever touched them was when I stood on them to wash/polish the roof Laughing

In the advert the adults getting in and out of the car looked odd but for the child the steps appeared to be of use.

I have no small youngsters and for that reason I won't be investing and I am out.

solution to a non issue Sad

also, looks like it will hit the kerb.

Shame - pretty cool looking, though I dont think it has a place on an off road car.
One session in MUd N Ruts could be the death of it.

Well the posts aboves seems to be a vote for a waste of time, i actually quite like them

Wouldn't need them myself, but the kids and wife would use them

but as with most things like this, the cost will be eye wateringly high Big Cry Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

They kind of make sense, i want side steps as it makes loading kids bikes and the roof box far easier. When i had a loan fl2 with sidesteps it kept getting my trousers muddy as i brushed against them getting into the car. It would have been useful to retract them.

Far better use of money than buying things like big alloys.

Strange to find a wurzel that objects to a little mud. Laughing

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 Metropolis LE Auto Loire Blue
Electric deployable side steps

I saw these on a Range Rover Sport in Williams landrover Manchester at the weekend. I thought they were really impressive. They appear as you open the door and retract again as soon as you close the door. Sidesteps are useful for smaller people. I had them fitted to my last Freelander but chose not to with my new Metropolis as they might spoil the look of the bodywork. Freelander 2 Metropolis 64 in Loire Blue with Ivory Windsor Leather. Previously Range Rover Evoque PureTech for 3weeks. Freelander2 XS and Freelander2 S.
