I did not know the trunk closed itself.

Wow that's pretty cool, i wonder if that is factory or not.

I highly doubt that it is seeing as the supports which open the trunk aren't hydraulic; it's the good ol' fashioned system.

I can say with certainty that feature will not be on US models. It's probably aftermarket even in Korea. The trunk has conventional arm-type hinges with struts to hold it all the way open (same as the simple ones used to hold up the hoods of many cars). The latch and actuator are normal as well. No motors or anything out of the ordinary that I can see.

One interesting thing I noticed tho, and it's off topic, but like the 09 Sonata, the Genesis Coupe does not have a key cylinder for the trunk. The only way to open it is with the transmitter or the switch inside the car, so if your car dies or the actuator craps out you will be locked out of the trunk. I don't think that's very smart. Anyway just figured it was interesting enough to mention.

I personally like the fact there is no trunk cylinder. My wife uses her key sometimes and always seems to get more of the paint!!! :aargh:

I rather have the old fashioned manual powered trunk if it was automatic it would just be one more thing to probably break and pay a fortune to get fixed.

There's no key hole in the Azera deck lid either, but there is a push button release in the glove box similar to the GT Mustangs I used to own. Although, if the actuator goes, that won't help. But, usually they provide a hidden manual pull lever cable in which to allow access the trunk in case of an emergency of the like.
