The CS85's sportier, coupe-inspired shape looks best without a fixed step disrupting its lines — which is why Decoin built an electric running board that stays hidden until it's needed. Open a door and the step extends instantly to offer secure footing, then withdraws the moment the door closes, keeping the CS85's profile clean at rest. Fitment and finish details for this model follow below.
The CS85 sits toward the sportier, coupe-styled end of Changan's SUV range, and Decoin builds its electric running board to preserve that swept-back look rather than interrupt it. When parked, the step folds completely out of sight beneath the rocker panel; open a door, and it extends in a smooth, quick motion to offer a stable place to step, then withdraws again as soon as the door is closed.
Because the CS85's sloped roofline and lower rear doors can make rear-seat entry slightly trickier than in a boxier SUV, having a properly positioned step matters for passengers who might otherwise duck and stretch awkwardly. The board is calibrated to the CS85's specific ride height so the step lands exactly where a foot expects it.
Finish options are designed to complement the CS85's more design-forward exterior, with a durable, non-slip surface that resists scuffing, corrosion, and fading from UV exposure over years of ownership. Internally, the drive motor and pivot points are sealed against moisture and road salt.
Mounting hardware bolts directly to the CS85's factory attachment points, so installation is generally a drill-free process completed in a single appointment.
Will the running board clash with the CS85's coupe-style lower body trim? No, the board is shaped and finished to sit flush with the CS85's existing lines when retracted.
How loud is the step when it extends or retracts? The motor is designed to operate quietly, producing only a soft mechanical sound during deployment.
Does cold weather affect how quickly the step deploys? The mechanism is built to operate reliably across a wide temperature range, including cold winter conditions.
