Q&A Americas Handles to climb into rear seats?

[Donny]

Hey Ineos Automotive, can we please get some handles to climb into the back seats? My kids, and my older parents, would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

My kids needed help climbing into the 4Runner. I put Raingler handles on the front headrests for my kids to use.

@Bruce 's idea may be the one to go with (Raingler products are definitely stout and well made, I used their Cargo barrier in my 4Runner), or at least something similar to that. Seeing as the interior is unchanged for North America in comparison to the RoW, I find it unlikely that some sort of rear grab handle will be incorporated as a running change. Of course, we can await an official answer when Stu sends the questions off at the end of the week!

One more question as long as we're talking potential NA changes...how about a heated steering wheel? I've had it on my last few cars and it gets a lot of use here in Colorado.

From several Ineos employees, the word was "definitely not"

@Donny @jwb - Don't feel the need to answer if you don't want, but since this was a feature that has never been mentioned by Ineos, and it is already being sold in climates that are substantially colder than most of the Continental US, was there something that gave you an inclination that it would be added before the US release? Just wondering why the sad faces that it (most likely) won't be part of the standard equipment.

Just wishful thinking. The sad face was more for the “definitely not.” But I’ve got gloves for the winter so I’ll be good.
