A vehicle includes a cabin interior, a support structure within or proximate to the cabin interior, and a deployable assist handle coupled to the support structure. The deployable assist handle includes a handle body, a flexible member coupled to the handle body, a reel configured to receive the flexible member, an actuator operatively coupled to the reel to actuate the reel to extend and retract the flexible member, at least one sensor for sensing a user proximate to the vehicle and generating sensed data based on the sensed user, and a controller determining one or more characteristics of the user from the sensed data and controlling the actuator to actuate the deployable assist handle assembly to adjust a length of the flexible member based on the determined one or more characteristics of the user.
