Abstract
The invention relates to a concealed door handle and a vehicle. The concealed door handle comprises: a handle body; a handle base fixed in a body of a vehicle, the handle body being concealed in the handle base, and the handle body being rotatably connected to the handle base; and a deployment microswitch arranged on the handle base and configured to detect a deployed position of the handle body and to maintain communication with a vehicle control module, wherein when the deployment microswitch jumps from a triggered state into an untriggered state, the deployment microswitch sends an input signal for unlocking an electronic lock to the vehicle control module. The concealed door handle of the invention has a simple structure and low costs, and a signal source can be arranged in a limited structural space.
