As Roewe's largest SUV, the RX8 sits higher than the rest of the lineup, which makes a powered step especially useful for third-row passengers and anyone loading gear from the side.
Built for the RX8's larger frame, this running board kit uses heavier-duty mounting brackets to support the vehicle's higher step height and the additional passenger traffic that comes with a three-row SUV. The board extends the moment a door opens and retracts automatically once it's closed, keeping the RX8's full-size profile clean when parked.
The step surface is finished with a slip-resistant texture for confident footing in wet weather, and the whole assembly is sealed against dust, moisture, and road spray for long service life. Installation uses the RX8's existing underbody mounting points, so it's a bolt-on fit with no drilling required.
Does the RX8's board support all three rows equally? Yes, the board runs the length needed to assist front and rear door access.
Is it rated for heavier cargo loading through the side doors? The step is built for passenger step-in use; heavy cargo should still be loaded through the tailgate.
Will it fit if my RX8 has running board covers already? Existing static running boards would need to be removed first, since this kit replaces that function with a motorized version.
