Where is the trunk release on the Cruze?

The Cruze does not have an interior trunk release switch. You can only manually press the switch on the rear of the trunk or use the remote control to open the trunk. Press and hold the remote to open the trunk. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The Cruze is a compact car under Chevrolet. The new model is equipped with a 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine. This engine also features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. The new Cruze uses a MacPherson independent suspension for the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension for the rear. Using a torsion beam for the rear suspension reduces overall costs and expands rear seating space and trunk space.
Opening the trunk of the Cruze is actually quite simple. I remember often using the small button on the remote key to open it directly during daily use, which is super convenient. If you're sitting in the driver's seat, just reach over to the door panel and you'll find a dedicated trunk release lever or button—a gentle pull will open it. There's also a physical switch on the trunk lid, usually located at the bottom edge, where a simple push with a finger does the trick. A few times when the electronic system acted up and the key didn’t work, I went around to the back and used the hidden mechanical key on the key fob to manually turn the lock cylinder open. Though rare, it’s good to know this emergency method. Also, when opening the trunk in a parking lot, it’s best to make sure the car is parked securely and no people or vehicles are nearby to avoid collisions. Regularly check if the switches operate smoothly to avoid frustration during moves or shopping trips. In short, from the key to the interior and the body, the Cruze’s design makes the operation both flexible and reliable, adapting well to different scenarios.
