3 Answers
Methods to open the trunk of a Volkswagen car: You can use the remote key to open it, or use the opening button on the driver's side door inside the car. Externally, you can insert the key into the trunk lock to open it. Correct ways to use a Volkswagen trunk: 1. Item arrangement: Large items at the bottom, small items on top; heavy items in the front, lighter items in the back. 2. Elastic net: Secure fragile objects. 3. First aid kit: Emergency equipment. 4. Flashlight. The 2020 Volkswagen Magotan has a body length, width, and height of 4866mm, 1832mm, and 1464mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. It is a front-engine, front-wheel-drive model, powered by a 1.4T or 2.0T engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
My Volkswagen Golf's trunk opens smoothly every time. There's a clearly visible recessed button right in the middle under the trunk lid - just lift your finger to pop it open. If my hands are full, I can simply press and hold the trunk icon on the remote key for 3 seconds to open it. However, different VW models have variations. For sedans like the Passat, the trunk release is hidden in the logo - just press down on the lower half of the VW emblem. Some SUV models like the Tiguan are even cooler - just stand near the rear bumper with the key and sweep your foot underneath, and the trunk opens automatically. I always have to teach friends how to open the trunk when they ride with me for the first time, but it's actually quite simple once you're familiar with your specific model's design.
As a veteran Volkswagen owner for ten years, opening the trunk depends on the model. For sedans, there are basically two methods: one is using the trunk unlock button on the key fob, and the other is pressing the electronic button in the middle of the trunk lid. Newer models come with a sensor function—when the key is near the vehicle, just touch below the emblem to open it. It's much simpler with hatchbacks, as there's a manual button at the bottom of the rear windshield. If you're driving a pure-electric ID series, you can also control the trunk via the central touchscreen menu. I remember once when a friend couldn't open the trunk of their new Touareg, only to find out they had covered the mechanical keyhole. So, there might be an emergency keyhole hidden near the trunk button.
