I have a 2018 Karoq. The tailgate will unlock and open for about two inches and then no further. It won’t close electronically either. It makes an odd beeping noise when I try close it electronically.
I’m assuming this will be a warranty issue?
Any advice?

Open it as far as possible electrically and then lift it up to it' full extent manually, then close it electrically.
If this doesn't work do the first part but then pull it down manually. then try on the key fob, tailgate handle and drivers door switch.
If no joy, call the dealer.
Hope this helps.

There have been a couple of similar reports at https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/4 ... esnt-work/
where the faults were found to be a sensor in the tailgate strut, and the electric motor.
