You may not be conscious of it, but there is an internal handle on your trunk, which is there for essential safety. This handle is hidden and most people are not even aware of its existence.

To discover this “handle” you’ll have to get in the back seat (don’t be reluctant to fold it down for more space), and, at the trunk lock of your Skoda Kamiq (center of the tailgate), you’ll have to remove a plastic cover to see the complete lock appear. Once this has been conducted, you should identify a sort of lever that once activated will allow you to open the tailgate of your Skoda Kamiq from the inside.
