A hatchback car is a compact vehicle characterized by its rear door that swings upward, providing easy access to the cargo area. This design allows for more versatile storage options compared to traditional sedans, making hatchbacks popular among city dwellers and families. They typically have a two-box design, with the passenger compartment and the cargo area being separate but connected. Hatchbacks come in various sizes and styles, from small city cars to larger models. They often offer better fuel efficiency and maneuverability, making them ideal for urban driving. Popular examples of hatchback cars include the Volkswagen Golf and the Honda Civic.
