Don’t feel embarrassed—the 2020 Malibu is a bit tricky. Unlike many other cars, the 2020 Chevy Malibu does not have a trunk button in the cabin. You can only open the trunk from outside the car or with the key fob.
To open the trunk with the key fob, simply press the trunk button twice. Otherwise, you can go around to the rear of the car. Make sure the car is unlocked, then feel the area underneath the logo on the trunk and above the license plate. You should feel a rubber button. Push on it and lift to open the trunk.
