For regular models, simply turn the key to the right to open. Luxury models can be opened in two ways: using the key; or via the electromagnetic trunk release button, usually located below the dashboard or on the left side of the driver's seat, marked with a trunk opening symbol.

I've been driving a Besturn B70 for five years, and there are several locations for the trunk switch. The most commonly used one is the button with a trunk pattern on the driver's door armrest. Just press it, and the trunk opens effortlessly, which is very convenient. If you're carrying items and it's not convenient, there's also a dedicated button on the remote key—hold it for three seconds, and the trunk will pop open automatically. Sometimes, if you want to open it directly from the rear, there's a black button above the license plate; pressing it will open the trunk, but note this function only works when the car is unlocked. In case you temporarily can't open it, first check if the doors are unlocked or if there are small stones stuck in the trunk lid seam. The design of these switch locations is quite user-friendly, and once you get used to them, you won't press the wrong spot.

When I first got familiar with the Bestune B70, I also spent quite some time looking for the trunk switch. Actually, it’s most practical to remember its three locations. On the remote key, the most obvious button is the one with a square and an arrow—just press and hold it, and the trunk will slowly rise. When you’re in the driver’s seat, reach over to the left-side door, where you’ll find a small button with a trunk icon next to the window controls. If you’re already at the rear of the car loading stuff, just reach above the license plate frame to feel a round physical button. One winter, wearing gloves made it hard to press, so I nudged the rear bumper with my knee and discovered that higher-trim models with a sensor function can actually be opened with a quick foot sweep under the car. I’d suggest new owners try all these spots—it’s way more intuitive than reading the manual.

As an experienced driver who often helps friends with car issues, I find the trunk switch setup of the Bestune B70 very well thought out. The main switch is located on the driver's door armrest, which is much more convenient than placing it on the center console—it's easily visible with just a glance while driving. The design of the remote key's opening button requiring a continuous press is quite clever, preventing accidental unlocking. The rear button is cleverly hidden in a recess above the license plate, avoiding accidental triggers even in rainy weather. If the button fails, don't rush to repair it—try using the mechanical key first: there's a small cover on the driver's door handle; pry it open to find the emergency lock. Honestly, the layout of these switches considers various daily usage scenarios, making it far more practical than designs that hide buttons in the glove compartment.
