BMW 2 Series Grancoupe F44 Automatic Electric Lift with a Customisable Height Adjustment​

What is the electric tailgate?

An electric tailgate, also known as a power liftgate or automatic tailgate, is a feature commonly found in modern vehicles that allows the rear door or hatch to be opened and closed automatically with the push of a button or through a sensor-based activation system. It is typically powered by an electric motor and controlled by the vehicle's electrical system.

The electric tailgate offers convenience to vehicle owners by eliminating the need to manually open or close the rear door or hatch. This feature is particularly useful when carrying heavy items or when accessing the cargo area in situations where hands may be occupied, such as when holding groceries or luggage.

The operation of an electric tailgate can vary depending on the vehicle model and manufacturer. In most cases, the tailgate can be opened or closed by pressing a button on the key fob, interior control panel, or using a sensor-based system that detects foot movement under the rear bumper. Some vehicles also provide customizable height settings for the tailgate opening to accommodate different parking spaces or user preferences.

In addition to the convenience factor, electric tailgates often include safety features to prevent injury or damage. For example, they may have sensors that can detect obstacles, such as a person or object in the path of the closing tailgate, and automatically reverse the operation to avoid accidents.
