A cup holder assembly includes a base and a pair of lid assemblies. The lid assemblies are respectively supported on the base for movement between an opened position and a closed position, wherein the lid assemblies are separately biased in the opened position. A pair of locking tabs is supported on the base for movement relative to the lid assemblies, wherein the locking tabs are configured to respectively engage and secure the lid assemblies in the closed position. A release member is supported on the base for movement relative to the locking tabs, wherein the release member is configured to disengage the locking tabs from the lid assemblies when the release member is moved from a first position to a second position.

1. A cup holder assembly comprising: a base;a pair of lid assemblies that are respectively supported on the base for movement between an opened position and a closed position, wherein the lid assemblies are individually biased toward the opened positions;a pair of locking tabs that are supported on the base for movement relative to the lid assemblies, wherein the locking tabs are configured to respectively engage and secure the lid assemblies in the closed position; anda release member that is supported on the base for movement relative to the locking tabs, wherein the release member is configured to disengage the locking tabs from the lid assemblies when the release member is moved from a first position to a second position. 2. The cup holder assembly of claim 1, wherein the lid assemblies are mounted to a cover assembly and the cover assembly is secured to the base. 3. The cup holder assembly of claim 1, wherein the lid assemblies each include a spring member for respectively biasing the lid assemblies toward the opened positions. 4. The cup holder assembly of claim 3, wherein each spring member is a torsion spring having an end portion that extends from the lid assembly and engages the base. 5. The cup holder assembly of claim 3, wherein each spring member is secured to the lid assembly such that the spring member is not visible to a passenger when the lid assembly is in the open and closed positions. 6. The cup holder assembly of claim 3, wherein the lid assemblies each include a groove that opens toward an edge thereof and the spring member is disposed within the groove. 7. The cup holder assembly of claim 3, wherein the lid assemblies each include an internal shell and an external shell that are secured together and the spring members are respectively secured therebetween. 8. The cup holder assembly of claim 3, wherein the spring member includes a first end that is biased for engagement with the lid assembly and a second end that extends from the lid assembly for biased engagement with the base. 9. The cup holder assembly of claim 1, wherein the locking tabs are respectively biased for engagement with the lid assemblies when the lid assemblies are in the closed position. 10. The cup holder assembly of claim 1, wherein the locking tabs are inwardly biased toward one another. 11. The cup holder assembly of claim 1, wherein the locking tabs are formed as a single component. 12. The cup holder assembly of claim 1, wherein the release member includes at least one support pin for pivotably supporting the release member on the base. 13. The cup holder assembly of claim 1, wherein the release member is biased in a first position by a spring element. 14. The cup holder assembly of claim 13, wherein the spring element is a compression spring that is positioned between the base and the release member. 15. The cup holder assembly of claim 1, wherein the release member includes a release button that is configured to move the release member from a first position to a second position. 16. The cup holder assembly of claim 1, wherein the release member is configured to disengage the locking tabs from the lid assemblies when the release member is moved from a first position to a second position. 17. The cup holder assembly of claim 1, wherein the release member includes at least one contact member that is configured to contact and move the locking tabs when the release member is moved from a first position to a second position. 18. The cup holder assembly of claim 1, wherein the base includes a receptacle that is covered by the lid assemblies when the lid assemblies are in the closed position and not covered by the lid assemblies when the lid assemblies are in the opened position. 19. The cup holder assembly of claim 1, wherein the release member is a single release member that is configured to disengage both of the pair of locking tabs respectively from of the pair of lid assemblies substantially simultaneously when the single release member is moved from the first position to the second position. 20. A cup holder assembly comprising: a base;a pair of lid assemblies that are respectively supported on the base for movement between an opened position and a closed position, wherein the lid assemblies each include a spring member that is mounted thereto for individually biasing the lid assemblies in the opened position;a pair of locking tabs that are supported on the base for movement relative to the lid assemblies, wherein the locking tabs are biased in a position to separately engage and secure the lid assemblies in the closed position; anda release member that is supported on the base for movement relative to the locking tabs, wherein the release member is configured to contact and disengage the locking tabs from the lid assemblies when the release member is moved from a first position to a second position. 21. The cup holder assembly of claim 20, wherein the lid assemblies each form a groove that opens toward an edge thereof, and the spring member is a torsion spring that is disposed within the groove such that the spring member is not visible to a passenger when the respective lid assembly is in the open and closed positions. 22. The cup holder assembly of claim 20, wherein the lid assemblies each include an internal shell and an external shell that are secured together, and the spring member is secured therebetween such that a first end of the spring member is biased for engagement with the respective lid assembly and a second end of the spring member extends from the lid assembly for biased engagement with the base.
