Press and hold the button on the key other than "Lock" and "Unlock" to open the trunk from inside the car. There is a trunk release button on the interior door panel of the driver's side in the Buick Regal. Press and hold it for more than 3 seconds to open the trunk. Fold down the rear seats, pull down the decorative panel behind the center armrest of the rear seats, and forcefully pull the emergency release handle to open the trunk.

I've been driving a Buick Regal for many years, and opening the trunk from the inside is quite straightforward. There's usually a plastic recess with a pull cord or small handle in the center or right side of the inner lid—just give it a firm tug to unlock the trunk. This feature is designed to meet automotive safety standards, like allowing trapped children or accident victims to escape. Remember to inspect it regularly to prevent dust buildup or rust. Here's a handy tip: Every six months, crawl in and test it, applying a dab of lubricant to keep it working smoothly. If it won't budge, don't force it—the latch might be stuck, and you risk damaging components. Instead, visit a dealership for repairs. Think how vital this feature is—post-2018 models are legally required to have it, so never underestimate its importance.
