Where is the trunk switch of Golf 6 located?
2 Answers
The trunk switch of Golf 6 is located on the car logo at the rear. Press the upper part with your thumb, and the lower part will automatically lift up, then pull it to open. There is no trunk switch inside the Golf 6; the trunk can only be opened from the outside when the central control is unlocked. The Golf 6 abandons the large U-shaped front grille typical of the Volkswagen family, adopting a front style more reminiscent of the Volkswagen Scirocco. The side profile of the car resembles the domestically produced fourth-generation Golf, with the use of waistline accents making the side view appear slimmer. In terms of dimensions, the Golf 6 measures 4199mm in length, 1779mm in width, and 1479mm in height.
I drove a Golf 6 for several years, and the trunk release button is located on the driver's side door panel—a small button with an icon, easily reachable to press. While driving, if you need to quickly open the trunk, especially when loading items, this position is very convenient since you don’t have to get out of the car. If it’s an electric version, there’s also a button on the exterior of the trunk lid, plus a dedicated key on the remote. I recommend checking the door panel button first—sometimes dust buildup makes it hard to press, so just wipe it with a cloth. For safety, always ensure the car is parked before operating to avoid accidents from opening the trunk while moving. Additionally, the Golf 6’s switch design is quite user-friendly, positioned near the driver’s side to minimize distracted driving risks. Once you get used to it, you can easily locate it even at night.
