Can the X-Trail's trunk be opened with the remote control?
2 Answers
The luxury version of the X-Trail can open the trunk with the key. Normally, you just need to press and hold the button for three seconds. Below is a detailed introduction about the car trunk: Overview: The trunk of a car is the area where spare items and cargo are stored. Since compact cars are divided into hatchbacks and sedans, the size of the trunk also varies accordingly. Other Information: Under normal circumstances, the trunk usually contains the car's spare tire, emergency kit, tool kit, warning triangle, fire extinguisher, car refrigerator, emergency fuel cap release cable, etc. Some SUV and MPV models are also equipped with an emergency flashlight.
I remember driving a Qashqai before, and it indeed allowed opening the trunk with the remote key. The specific operation was to press and hold the trunk button on the key for a few seconds until you hear a click, and the trunk would pop open. This was especially handy when your hands were full carrying items. However, note that some lower trim versions don’t have this feature—it depends on the model year. For example, only the 2019 Intelligent Edition and above included it. If it doesn’t respond, try replacing the key battery or check if the trunk lock is stuck. Nowadays, many new cars even have hands-free trunk opening, where it automatically opens when you stand near the rear—more convenient than the remote. The top-trim Qashqai seems to have this feature too. It’s always good to check the owner’s manual, as it details the exact steps and supported vehicle configurations.
