There is no way to open the Subaru Crosstrek rear hatch from the inside. There are only two ways that it can be opened and there are no buttons or handles that will do it from inside the cabin. The first way to open the rear hatch is to use Your key fob. As long as Your vehicle is unlocked You can press and hold the hatch button on the fob and it will open up. The second way is to press the button that is in the handle. With the vehicle unlocked You should be able to walk up to the rear hatch handle and press the button located in the center and it will open up.
I own the crosstrek limited. There is NO button to open the hatch gate from the inside of the car...when your in the driver seat... Why ?? And of I'm wrong please tell me !

There is a plastic panel on the inside bottom of door to access the latch . Open it and move the lever to open the hatch.

To open the trunk of the Subaru Crosstrek you will find a latch under the trunk itself and you will find a button on the main console dash to the left of the steering wheel. There will also be a latch on the inside of the trunk in case you need to open it from there.
