A hatchback is a versatile car body style characterized by a rear door that swings upward, providing access to the cargo area. Typically featuring a two-box design, hatchbacks blend passenger and cargo space efficiently, making them practical for urban driving and small families. They usually have either three or five doors, with the rear hatch replacing the traditional trunk. Hatchbacks range from subcompact to compact sizes, offering flexibility with fold-down rear seats to enhance storage capacity. Their compact footprint, combined with good fuel efficiency and maneuverability, makes hatchbacks a popular choice for city dwellers and those seeking economical yet spacious vehicles.
