Abstract: An automotive vehicle is disclosed with a pillarless door opening for occupant ingress and egress. The first door is pivotally connected to the vehicle at a first end with a second end that extends to a central region of the door opening in the closed position. A second door has a first end translatably connected to the vehicle and a second end translatably connected to the vehicle adjacent to the central region of the opening at a closed position. The first door and the second door cooperate to close the opening. The second door can be translated relative to the vehicle to an intermediate position for providing clearance from the first door. One of the second door ends is detachable from the vehicle for pivoting the second door to an open position.

Abstract: A passenger cabin for a vehicle. The passenger cabin is comprised of a floor panel, a first row seat, a second row seat, and a stowable ottoman. The first row seat and the second row seat are attached to the floor panel. The stowable ottoman is pivotally attached to the floor panel between the first row seat and the second row seat. The stowable ottoman is deployable from underneath the floor panel through an opening in the floor panel.

Abstract: A deployable step and body-side assembly including a step body-side structure, one or more link assemblies, and an actuator. The step body-side structure is attached to the vehicle by the link assemblies. Each link assembly includes a carrier, an extending arm, a first link, a second link, a first rotating arm, and a second rotating arm. The carrier is attached to the step body-side structure and pivotally attached to the extending arm. The extending arm is pivotally attached to the vehicle by the first link and the second link so as to move the step body-side structure in an inboard direction and an outboard direction. The first rotating arm and second rotating arm rotate the step body-side structure, with the carrier pivotally attached to the vehicle by first rotating arm. The second rotating arm is pivotally attached to the first rotating arm, as well as the extending arm, the first link, and/or the second link. The step body-side structure is moved between the stored and deployed positions by an actuator.
