Well, you could use the manual release from the luggage compartment. I recall a rubber plug, and a lever that you pull.
It is in your owner's manual, available in PDF format in the Online References above if you have misplaced it. Good luck.

You can also connect a jump starter on the terminals under the hood then pop the trunk open.

Just an FYI to those who seem to not know this bit of info: both the upper lift gate and lower tail gate can be opened manually when there's no electrical power.
