Methods to open the trunk from inside the Volkswagen Bora: 1. Interior switch: The new Bora has a trunk switch located on the driver's door, which can be used to open the trunk. 2. Remote key: The remote key also has a trunk button; pressing and holding it can open the trunk. 3. Power tailgate: The car's power tailgate, also known as the electric trunk, allows the trunk to be opened or closed electrically or via remote control. To open the trunk, simply press the button inside the car or on the remote key, and the trunk will open automatically. To close the trunk, press the close button inside the trunk, the interior close button, or the remote key, and it will close automatically.

The most common way to open the trunk of a Volkswagen Bora is by pressing the interior button. On the driver's side door panel, near the window control area, look for a button with a trunk symbol and press it. In some models, this button may be relocated to the side of the instrument panel below the steering wheel—check there if you can't find it. You can also use the key remote—point the key toward the rear of the car and hold the unlock button for about three seconds. Note that if all doors are locked, the interior trunk button might be disabled; you may need to unlock the central control first. If it still doesn’t open, check whether the trunk has a separate child lock or mechanical lock, or if there’s poor electrical contact. Last time I had a button malfunction, replacing the fuse fixed it.

The old Bora had a trunk release cable near the driver's feet, while newer models mostly use an electronic button now. You can find the clearly marked button with an icon in the most prominent position on the driver's door panel—just press it to automatically pop open the trunk. Remember to ensure the vehicle is turned off or in Park (P) mode first, as some models disable this feature to prevent accidental opening. Holding down the trunk button on the remote key can also serve as an emergency release. If the button doesn’t respond, check whether the central locking system is disengaged—sometimes the button won’t work if the doors are locked. The manual keyhole is located right below the Volkswagen logo on the trunk lid, and you can use the mechanical key to pry it open if necessary, though newer models have removed this keyhole as a cost-saving measure.

Here's the most convenient in-car operation for you: Sit in the driver's seat, look down to find the button with the rear emblem near the door handle, press it for 1 second to automatically open. The remote key operation is equally simple - just press and hold the trunk button for 3 seconds. A reminder: if the electronic button occasionally jams, gently press it repeatedly a few times, as mechanical components may also get stuck by foreign objects. Don't panic if electronic failure occurs - all Bora models have foldable rear seats, and there's an emergency handle inside the trunk for manual opening.
