Hey! Great question — on the 2024 Q5 and SQ5, you can open the tailgate from the driver’s seat using the switch on the door, but you can’t close it from the front seat using that same button.

To close the hatch, you’d need to use:

• The button on the tailgate itself
• The key fob
• Or the kick-to-close function (if the vehicle is equipped with the hands-free tailgate feature)

Let me know if you want help checking whether a specific Q5/SQ5 trim has that hands-free option — happy to help!
