For at least the past few years the front and rear do indeed have mechanical releases. The front is easy to get, its right below the electronic button. The rear, at least on the Y, is not as obvious or easy to get to. Its under the doors storage mat. I believe the rear's has been updated recently but don't quote me. So not totally accurate for the first part.
