It Does! It was a nice surprise when I tried it in person. The trunk lid is not as heavy as the one on 2IS.

It has stronger springs so you don't need to lift it with force when you open the trunk.

i think he was asking about sensor under the trunk where you can put your foot and it will open the trunk up? :-)

I don't think it does. Most American SUV has this feature.
