Where is the interior trunk button on the Golf 8?

There is a storage compartment with a water trough on the door handle of the driver's cabin, and above it is a button that serves as the trunk release. The methods to open the Golf trunk are as follows: Using the car key to open the tailgate: Press the trunk button on the car key for less than 1 second to unlock the tailgate; or hold the button on the car key until the tailgate automatically opens a few millimeters. Press the upper part of the Volkswagen emblem with your thumb while flipping the lower part outward. Reach under the Volkswagen emblem and lift the tailgate. The Golf's trunk capacity is 380L, an increase of 30L compared to the previous model. The interior space is very flat, and the rear seats support a 4:6 split-folding function, allowing one side to seat passengers while the other side can be connected to the trunk for storage, providing great flexibility. When the rear seats are fully folded down, the maximum trunk capacity can reach 1270L.
As a long-time Volkswagen owner, I remember that on the Golf 8, the trunk release button is conveniently located on the driver's door panel, specifically among the row of controls for windows and locks. You can easily spot it by the small suitcase-shaped icon. The placement is thoughtfully designed for easy reach without obstructing driving visibility, which reflects Volkswagen's consistent user-friendly approach. New drivers might overlook this detail, so I recommend familiarizing yourself with button locations upon entering the vehicle to avoid fumbling during temporary stops. Operation is straightforward: press the button to automatically open the trunk. If equipped with automatic sensing, it works even more seamlessly with the remote key. Don't worry about confusion—the intuitive icon design prevents mistaken operation while driving, as safety always comes first.
