The trunk opening button of the Tayron is located on the door panel of the driver's side door. Pressing this switch will open the trunk lid. The Tayron is a midsize SUV under the Volkswagen brand, equipped with three engine options: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5000 to 6000 rpm and the maximum torque available between 1750 to 3000 rpm. The low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 137 kW and a maximum torque of 320 Nm, reaching its maximum power at 5000 rpm and maximum torque between 1600 to 4000 rpm. The high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine offers a maximum power of 162 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, with the maximum power achieved between 4500 to 6200 rpm and the maximum torque available from 1500 to 4400 rpm.

The Tiguan's tailgate opening buttons are actually located in three convenient positions, which is particularly practical. The most obvious one is the exterior button, positioned right below the base of the rear wiper—just bend slightly at the rear of the car to spot it. Inside the vehicle, a small button with a tailgate icon on the driver's door panel opens it with a press. By the way, some higher-end models even feature a hands-free sensor function; simply sweep your foot under the central area of the rear bumper to trigger an automatic opening. If the buttons don't respond occasionally, it's likely due to the key being too far away or electromagnetic interference nearby—just tuck the key back into your pocket and move closer to the car to resolve the issue.

I just helped a friend locate this button yesterday. There are three main ways to open the tailgate on the Tayron: First, directly press the physical button in the middle of the tailgate—it's positioned quite low, so be careful not to miss it. Second, near the driver's side door handle, there's a button with a tailgate symbol; press and hold it for two seconds. The third method is even more convenient: with the key on you, simply make a quick kicking motion under the rear bumper, and the sensor-equipped models will open instantly. Older models might not have the sensor feature, but the first two methods will definitely work. On rainy days, make sure to aim properly to avoid the rear wiper getting in your way.

The placement of the Tiguan L's tailgate buttons is quite interesting. The exterior opening button is located two fingers' width above the rear license plate, hidden in a small groove between the rear window glass and the license plate. The interior button sits at the front section of the driver's door storage compartment, right where your elbow naturally rests. If your newly purchased Tiguan L suddenly can't open the tailgate, it's most likely due to a dead key fob battery - replacing it will solve the problem immediately. The car's design is quite user-friendly; even when locked, holding down the tailgate button on the key fob will automatically pop it open.
