Hatchback

Hatchback is a term describing a design vehicle consisting of a passenger cabin or area with a cargo space (trunk) built, which is accessed through a tailgate. This includes glass rear door and the rear overhang is relatively short. The rear hatch door is considered more, so that the hatchback with two side doors are called "three doors" and models with four side doors are "Five doors". They are also known as two-volume cars or with rear hatch.
Differences with other bodies
The difference between a hatchback body and a family is that the latter has a longer rear overhang, and therefore a more spacious boot. Many car models have both body styles available, so the difference is only a few tens of centimeters and changes in appearance of original design. Relatives are often very vertical rear glass, while a hatchback can have too vertical or steeper.
