What Defines a Hatchback Body Style
A hatchback is a two-box body style with a rear door that opens together with the glass, giving easy access to the trunk. The passenger cabin and cargo area are connected, so capacity expands significantly when the rear seats are folded down. Hatchbacks come in three-door and five-door versions, and the most popular are compact models with engines from 1.0 to 1.6 litres. This body style dominates the B and C segments thanks to its strong mix of manoeuvrability, economy and practicality.
