Where is the trunk switch located on the all-new Bora?

The trunk switch of the all-new Bora is located below the driver's door armrest, above the door storage compartment, with a trunk capacity of 490L and 506L. Method to open the trunk: gently lift the trunk button to open it. If the button fails, you can also use the key to unlock it directly. Some models have a trunk unlock switch on the key, which can be pressed directly to open. The all-new Bora is built on Volkswagen's MQB A1 platform and is the first China-exclusive model on this platform. It adopts Volkswagen's new family-style design, featuring an integrated front face design and raised waistline. The wheelbase of the all-new Bora has been increased by 74 mm, reaching 2688 mm, and the body dimensions are 4663 mm in length, 1815 mm in width, and 1462 mm in height.
I recently got my hands on a brand-new Bora, and the design of the trunk switch positions is quite clever, mainly in three places: externally, it's right in the center of the trunk lid—just press the Volkswagen logo button lightly, and the lid pops open automatically; another spot is inside the car on the left door panel near the driver's seat, where there's a small round button—press it to open or close the trunk; and lastly, there's a trunk icon button on the remote key—hold it down for the same effect. I often use the external button, especially when carrying shopping bags in parking lots—it's super convenient. Just remember not to operate it on a slope to prevent accidental opening. The trunk space is spacious, and the switch action is smooth, making the overall experience hassle-free. I recommend checking the buttons regularly for responsiveness to avoid dust clogging affecting functionality.
As an experienced auto mechanic, I've seen many issues with the trunk switch on the Volkswagen Bora, and its locations are quite standardized: externally integrated into the emblem on the trunk lid, which opens with a press; the interior switch is located lower on the door panel near the driver's seat for easy access; the key button offers the most convenient remote control. If the switch fails, common causes include a stuck button or a blown fuse—simply clean off dust or check the fuse box. Avoid forcing the handle to prevent damaging the motor. The placement is ergonomic, with safety features like anti-misoperation for the interior button. Regular maintenance, such as lubricating the hinges, is recommended to prolong lifespan.
