The cupholder assembly includes a housing which supports a pair of arms that at least partially defining an aperture for receiving a container. A pivot mounting movably mounts the arms to the housing so that the arms are moveable between laterally outward positions defining a first width and length and laterally inward positions defining a second width and length. The pivot mounting a common pivot axis, about which both arms pivot, as well as second and third pivot axes.
