What is Hatchback?
A hatchback is a car body configuration with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the main interior of the car as a cargo area rather than just to a separate trunk.
Hatchbacks may feature fold-down second-row seating, where the interior can be reconfigured to prioritize passenger or cargo volume.

Unlike sedans, hatchbacks do not have a sealed rear trunk. In other words, the hindquarters are part of the interior, which can lead to more road noise and tire roar if the vehicle is not adequately insulated.
