Where is the trunk release on a Chevy Malibu?
I recently bought a Chevy Malibu, and it’s been a great investment so far. However, I’m afraid to ask someone about how to open the trunk—no matter what I do, I can’t figure it out. Where is the Chevy Malibu’s trunk release?

Don’t worry! Many cars come with trunk release buttons that aren’t always easy to see, and the Chevy Malibu is no different. The trunk release on a Chevy Malibu varies by the model year and generation and depends on whether you’re trying to open it from the interior or exterior**.
From the interior, the trunk release is located on the left-hand side of the floor on the driver’s side on models made before 2016—just pull up on it, and the trunk will open. Models made in 2016 or after do not have this option. Alternatively, you can always use your key fob to open the trunk.
If you’re outside of the car, you generally have three ways to open the trunk. **New models (built in 2016 or later) have a button above the license plate that you can feel with your hand—simply push this in and lift. Older models have a black button to the right of the central brake light—push it, and the trunk will open.
For models older than 1997, just use your key to open the trunk.
Not being able to get in your trunk is certainly a hassle, but then again, so is paying too much for car insurance. So if you want to lower your
