Method to open the trunk of Trumpchi GM6: The bottom button on the remote key of the Trumpchi GM6 is used to open the trunk. However, after opening, you still need to manually lift the lid or press the button at the rear of the vehicle. The interior of the Trumpchi GM6 trunk is quite tidy and deep. The third-row seats support a 40:60 split folding and can be folded and stored, forming a flat floor after storage, allowing for personalized space utilization. The dimensions of the Trumpchi GM6 are 4780 mm in length, 1860 mm in width, and 1730 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2810 mm. In terms of power, the Trumpchi GM6 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 171 hp and a maximum torque of 265 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual or Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission.

Last time I drove my friend's GM6 and did some research. Opening the trunk of this car is actually quite convenient. Just press the black button on the tailgate—it's a circular button with a slight damping feel when touched. If your hands are full, you can also press and hold the trunk icon in the middle of the remote key for three seconds to automatically pop it open. I prefer using the switch on the driver's door panel, located next to the window control area—just press the button with a car rear pattern, and it's done. Note that for models before 2019, this button was below the left AC vent on the driver's side, but from the 2020 model onwards, it was moved next to the overhead light. If you've opted for the power tailgate, the kick sensor is even more convenient—just remember to have the key on you. To close it, simply pull the handle on the inner side of the tailgate or press the power close button. The anti-pinch design is quite thoughtful.

Remember these three points when opening the GM6 rear door: There's a rubber button on the right side of the tailgate handle—press it while slightly lifting the tailgate. On the car key, the bottom button with a cargo compartment icon automatically unlocks and pops open when held for two seconds. For newer models, there's a row of five-door switch groups near the reading light above the driver's seat—the rectangular button with wave patterns on the far right controls the rear door. The key works within two meters of the car, which is especially convenient on rainy days without needing to take it out. However, base models don’t have a power tailgate—manual opening requires attention to the pulling angle, and it’s easier to press the button with your right hand while supporting the door bottom with your left. Owners of older models should check the manual—my experience is that there’s an easily overlooked recessed button on the lower left side of the center console near the driver.

This vehicle's rear door can be opened in two ways: manual and electric. For the manual version, simply pull up by gripping the recessed handle at the center of the lower edge of the tailgate. Note that the keyhole on the new GM6 is hidden. The electric version can be opened by pressing the square button at the lower right corner of the tailgate or using the remote key. There's also a specific method for operating it from the driver's seat: below the left-hand air conditioning knob on the driver's side, there are four small buttons—press the one with the rear car symbol to open it. Starting from the 2021 model, the position changed; look for the silver button group behind the sun visor and press the rightmost one. If there's no response after pressing, first check if the door lock is disengaged—the tailgate won't open if the car is locked. When closing the manual version, apply some force to press it down until you hear a click to ensure it's securely locked.

Brief tips for opening the GM6 trunk: The physical button is located on the right side of the tailgate handle - a black square key with noticeable anti-slip texture. The trunk button on the key requires a 2-second long press to activate. For driver-side controls, remember their positions: older models have a hidden button on the front door armrest, while newer versions integrate it into the overhead control panel. Learned from helping a neighbor move stuff - electronic switches require power-on self-test when the vehicle is off, so power up first before pressing. Don't rush closing: electric versions need to wait for the lift motor to position, while manual versions should be pressed down to about 10cm from the body before releasing, letting inertia engage the latch perfectly. The key auto-locks when moving 1 meter away - don't leave bags in the trunk.

Remember these positions when opening the GM6's rear hatch: There's a protruding button 5cm below the center of the tailgate, press and hold the middle key on the remote until the lights flash. The most practical operation is from the driver's seat - locate the five-button switch area behind the door handle, the rightmost one with a trunk icon (for 2020 models, it's above the card slot on the left side of the steering wheel). For high-end versions with power tailgate, note these details: the vehicle must be powered on to use the button; opening height can be customized; it automatically locks when the key is out of sensing range. To temporarily open from outside when moving the car, first unlock the central control. Also, after rainy day operation, it's recommended to dry the sealing strips - this model's rubber strips fit tightly and can accumulate water, causing stiffness that affects closure.
