The trunk switch of CRV is located on the left side of the driver's compartment, and there is also a switch on the electric tailgate. This car has the following advantages: 1. In terms of appearance. The hexagonal front grille is embedded with Honda's LOGO in the middle, highlighting its identity. It is decorated with multiple chrome strips, making it more upscale. The front grille is connected to the headlights, and the overall design is not much different from the old model. 2. In terms of body size. The CRV has a body length, width, and height of 4585mm/1855mm/1689mm, with a wheelbase of 2660mm. 3. In terms of rear design. The rear of this car adopts a through-type design, with a chrome-decorated straight line connecting the taillights on both sides, echoing the front design. The roof also features the currently popular shark fin antenna, and the exhaust pipes below are designed as dual exhaust pipes, which look symmetrical.









As a seasoned CRV owner with five years of experience, I'm extremely familiar with the tailgate operations. The most frequently used method is the button on the car key – just hold it for three seconds and the trunk pops open automatically. There's also a dedicated button on the driver's door panel within easy reach of your left hand. The most practical feature is the hidden button at the rear, located in the black trim above the license plate – a gentle press does the trick. Higher trim models even offer the foot-sensing feature under the bumper, which is incredibly convenient when your hands are full. Once while helping a friend move, I simply lifted my foot to open the tailgate, leaving him amazed. If none of these work, remember to check if the vehicle is in Park mode or if the doors are unlocked. When I first got the car, it took me a while to figure it out, but now I can operate it blindfolded.

The most commonly used trunk function when camping with the CRV is the external release button. Simply press the rubber button above the license plate frame on the rear door when the vehicle is unlocked. This external switch is waterproof and dustproof, so it's safe to press even with wet hands in the rain. There's also a trunk icon button in the door control area on the driver's side, which can be operated while driving. The tailgate button on the key is most practical for locating the car in parking lots—just press it from afar and the hazard lights will flash for easy identification. For the hands-free opening feature, remember the technique: stand directly behind the vehicle with the key, then quickly sweep your foot under the bumper sensor. Last time when picking up my child from school in the rain, I really appreciated this thoughtful design as I effortlessly opened the trunk with a foot swipe to toss in the backpack while soaked.

When I first got my new CR-V, I specifically studied the tailgate switch. The base model offers three opening methods: the key fob button, the door panel button on the driver's side, and the physical button on the exterior of the tailgate. The exterior button is hidden in the black plastic trim above the license plate, and pressing it firmly provides noticeable resistance. The top trim adds a kick sensor—simply approach the rear with the key, extend your foot under the center of the rear bumper, and quickly retract it. When using the sensor, maintain balance and avoid leaning too far forward, even when carrying heavy items. All these opening methods require the vehicle to be unlocked; if they fail, first check the key fob's .

Auto repair shops often encounter CRV owners inquiring about trunk switch issues. The black protrusion between the license plate lights is the external switch, which produces a slight click when pressed. On the driver's side control panel, the button located behind the window switches with a trunk symbol is the interior switch. The remote key has a dedicated tailgate button - press and hold for 2 seconds to activate. For models equipped with hands-free opening, master the rhythm: with the key within 1 meter of the rear bumper, quickly swing your foot horizontally beneath it. Repair statistics show 80% of failure-to-open cases occur when the vehicle is locked or not in Park mode. When installing dashcams, avoid obstructing sensor positions.

Last time I rented a CRV for a road trip, it took me a while to figure out the trunk switch. The separate trunk button on the car key is the most intuitive—just press it and the tailgate automatically rises. In the driver's seat control area on the left, there's a button with an icon, positioned slightly higher than the window switches. The external switch on the tailgate is located in the black area above the license plate, providing noticeable feedback when pressed. The top trim's sensor feature is interesting—just keep the key in your pocket and swipe your foot under the rear bumper. When trying this, remember to face the center of the rear and make swift foot movements. Rainy day tests showed the sensor function works normally, but avoid reaching for items before the trunk fully opens, as the anti-pinch feature might fail.
