How to Open the Trunk of a Bora?
2 Answers
The methods to open the trunk of a Bora are: 1. Press the button on the key to open the trunk; 2. Press the button on the trunk by hand and lift the trunk to open it. The Bora is a compact car with the following body dimensions: length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2688mm, fuel tank capacity 50l, and trunk capacity 506l. The Bora is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, maximum power of 85kW, maximum torque of 200Nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving my Bora for over a decade, and opening the trunk has always been effortless. Generally, there are three main methods: First, using the trunk button on the key remote—just a gentle press unlocks and pops it open. Second, directly pressing a button on the trunk lid at the rear, usually located beneath the Volkswagen emblem—another light press does the trick. Third, the interior switch, found either on the driver's door panel or the center console, is within easy reach. I recommend new owners start with the remote method—it's the safest and quickest, but remember the car must be unlocked for it to work. On rainy days or when the ground is slippery, watch your step when approaching the rear to avoid slipping. Additionally, the Bora's trunk design is quite user-friendly; for instance, some higher-end models feature a kick sensor—just a swift motion under the rear bumper automatically unlocks it, making loading luggage a breeze. However, if the battery dies occasionally, you'll need to use the spare key to manually open it via a small hidden slot on the lid (the owner's manual has diagrams). In short, operation is straightforward—just remember to regularly check button cleanliness and battery status to prevent dust or cold temperatures from affecting sensitivity.
