Wonder if anyone has given the thought of self-deploying side-steps/running boards a fancy on the G05?
Really enjoyed the experience when I had the chance to try them on the Range Rover (and other Land Rover products). The G05 isn't quite as tall but still not low. It would be much easier to entry and exit if there were self-deploying electric side steps.
I've tried and don't like the fixed running boards - have always found fixed running boards awkward to use as they don't stick out enough to make it a "step", nor are they low enough to make a big difference.
On searching online, there seems to be a few factories in China which purport to make them. Also came across Pegasus4x4 in the UK which seem to do them (

Any experience with any of these after-market mods?
