Compact but still tall enough to make climbing in a small stretch for some passengers, the Volkswagen Tharu is a natural fit for Decoin's electric running boards. The step senses the door opening and swings out in a fraction of a second, then folds away again once you're back on the road, keeping the Tharu's compact-SUV silhouette intact. Find the right fitment for your Tharu below.
The Volkswagen Tharu is compact enough for city driving but still rides higher than a hatchback, and that small gap in height is where a Decoin electric running board makes the biggest practical difference. Rather than a static step that's always in the way, the board only appears when a door opens, then disappears the instant you close it and drive off.
The motorized mechanism extends the step within about a second of the door opening, moving quietly enough that it doesn't draw attention in a quiet parking garage or driveway, yet remains sturdy enough to trust with your full weight.
Whether you're helping a child buckle in or reaching into the back seat for shopping bags, the Tharu's running board gives a stable, non-slip surface at just the right height, reducing the awkward half-climb that taller SUVs otherwise require.
Finished with a corrosion-resistant coating and sealed electronics, the step is designed to keep working through rain, road salt, and the general grime of daily commuting without the mechanism sticking or corroding.
Does the Tharu's running board work with keyless entry? Yes, the step responds to the door opening itself, so it works regardless of whether you unlock the Tharu with a key, fob, or keyless system.
Will the step scrape on speed bumps or steep driveways? The board is positioned and retracts to match the Tharu's factory ground clearance, so normal speed bumps and driveway angles are not an issue.
Can I still wash the Tharu normally with the boards installed? Yes, the sealed housing is designed to handle regular washing, including at automatic car washes, without affecting the mechanism.
