First explanation for a locked trunk on your car. It is likely that the wires or the wiring harness of the trunk lock may have been cut by force or because of shocks.

How to open trunk Audi Sq5 from the inside?
After reviewing the various causes why you might want to open the trunk of your Audi Sq5 from the inside, we will teach you how to do it in practice.
You may not be aware of it, but there is an internal handle on your trunk, which is there for safety. This handle is hidden and most of us are not even advised of its existence. Nevertheless, it is the handle that will allow you to open the trunk of your Audi Sq5 from the passenger compartment. To find this “handle” you’ll have to get in the back seat (don’t hesitate to fold it down for more space), and, at the trunk lock of your Audi Sq5 (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the whole lock appear. Once this has been done, you should find a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Audi Sq5 from the inside. Be careful though, on many models if this lever keeps in the open position you will not be able to lock your trunk when locking your car with the central locking system. So remember to put it back in position once you close your trunk.
