How to Open the Trunk of a Chevrolet?
2 Answers
Chevrolet trunk opening methods vary depending on the configuration: 1. For high-end models, the trunk release button is located below the door handle on the driver's side - simply press the button to open; 2. For basic models, you need to use the key or operate it together with the fuel cap lever under the driver's seat. Taking the Chevrolet Cavalier 2020 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4474mm, width 1730mm, height 1471mm, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. The Chevrolet Cavalier 2020 is equipped with a 1.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 92kW and a maximum torque of 180Nm. It features MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
As an experienced Chevrolet owner, my vehicle is the previous-generation Equinox, which offers multiple ways to open the trunk. The most commonly used method is the button on the car key—just press it once to unlock and open. Alternatively, there’s a dedicated button on the door-side of the center console inside the car; a simple press easily opens it. Some newer models even come with a kick-sensor feature, like swiping a foot under the license plate to trigger automatic opening—super convenient. I remember during winter when the trunk froze and wouldn’t open, a few gentle taps would release it. For safety, avoid attempting to open it while driving to prevent items from falling and affecting the journey. Regularly inspecting and lubricating the trunk hinges helps prevent jamming. These small tips have saved me a lot of trouble and made trips smoother.
