The interior trunk switch for Roewe cars is located under the small storage compartment to the left of the steering wheel. Taking the 2020 Roewe RX5 Luxury Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4571mm, width 1855mm, height 1719mm, with a wheelbase of 2708mm. The 2020 Roewe RX5 Luxury Edition features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a longitudinal trailing arm semi-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 173PS, maximum power of 127kW, and maximum torque of 275Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

The trunk switch of my Roewe RX5 is located on the driver's door panel, just a bit in front of the window control buttons, with a small car icon on it. Pressing it will trigger an unlocking sound. If there's no response, first check the dashboard for any door ajar warnings, as sometimes an improperly closed door can cause the trunk to lock. Base models might not have this button, requiring a long press on the remote key fob to open. For temporary cargo loading, you can disable the auto-lock feature in the vehicle settings, allowing direct access to the trunk when the engine is off.

The interior switch of the old Roewe 550 is located near the driver's left foot, requiring you to bend down to reach it. There's a small raised button on the plastic panel with an icon resembling an open trunk. Friends riding in my car used to search for it for a long time, only to later realize this design was meant to prevent accidental presses. The mechanical keyhole is hidden in a recess above the license plate frame—using the key is more reliable when it's frozen in winter. If the electronic button fails, it might be due to a blown fuse or a loose wiring harness connection. The cables near the trunk hinge are prone to breaking from excessive bending.

Having driven the Roewe i6, its electric trunk button is located on the left side of the steering wheel in the light adjustment area, next to the fuel tank cap switch. You can also open it by quickly pressing the key twice. Note that some models require shifting to P gear to unlock it. Once, I pressed it for a long time in D gear with no response. The manual states that there is an emergency pull handle hidden inside the trunk rod, and you can find an orange pull cord by peeling open the inner lining.

My friend's new Roewe iMAX8 has a unique feature - there's a paddle switch with a luggage symbol on the side of the center console armrest. The salesperson mentioned that holding it down can adjust the opening angle, which is convenient for underground garage use. Actually, there's also a mechanical switch at the bottom of the driver's door storage compartment to prevent the inability to open it in case of electronic failure. Remember not to place overly heavy items in the luggage compartment, as the electric struts can easily get damaged.
