Abstract
A cupholder assembly includes an outer housing and an inner carriage movably disposed within the outer housing. The inner carriage defines at least one cup well. A first door and a second door are movable between closed positions, which block the inner carriage, and open positions, which allow access to the inner carriage. A biasing member is configured to one of: bias the inner carriage away from the outer housing, and rotate one of the first door and the second door. Opening one of the first door and the second door releases the biasing member and allows at least a portion of the inner carriage to move upward relative to the outer housing.
