very early question[edit]

Is the combi coupé common on Saabs like Saab 900 and Saab 99 a hatchback or not? // Liftarn

yes, the 99 as a 3 door version and the 900 both as 3 and 5 door. Also the Saab 9000 has a hatchback version. (MH 2004/04/26)

Tata Nano[edit]

How is the Nano a hatchback? It does not fit into the definition of a hatchback, since it does not have a hatch in the first place. (It is completely closed from the rear) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.204.161.239 (talk) 11:45, 29 January 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Jaguar E Type[edit]

The E Type was available with two rows of seat in the 2+2 which therefore makes this statement...

"Sports cars like the Jaguar E-Type, Toyota 2000GT, and Datsun 240Z were fitted with rear tailgates, but had only one row of seats. Thus, while they may be called 3 door cars, they are not generally considered hatchbacks."

...incorrect with respect to the Jaguar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.186.108.9 (talk) 00:39, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Camaro[edit]

Is the Camaro a hatchback? Don't forget to put these cars on the article, Ford Festiva, Aspire,ZX3 and the Swift. MarioV 23:56, 12 May 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Citroen link[edit]

I removed the original CItroen link because it connected to a site reported as spam that made further revision of the article unallowable. Captain Caveman 08:17 EDT, August 29, 2006

Renault 4[edit]

Previous text implied that Renault 4 was not a "real hatchback" but instead a small station wagon. I left this theory in text. Question: is this a serious POV held by actual people or just a straw man? PLawrence99cx 04:15, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What are they good for?[edit]

How much does the cargo space increase? Does it decrease aerodynamics/mileage? What's the price difference compared to sedans or wagons? Why would someone want to buy one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.70.52 (talk) 23:26, 9 July 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Mazda 6 (2003[2]-2008)[edit]

The M6 (5-Door) Hatchback should be included in this article in a better section, if only because it is/was the largest hatchback around. It encompasses all the descripitive virtues a hatchback should include as the opening states. The term hatchback conjures little car. The M6 is a mid-size car like Honda Accord, Nissan Altima and Chevy Malibu, none of which have a hatchback version. The inclusion in the "similar body styles" section only lists it as having a 'hatch tailgate' which belittles the functionality and sporty nature of the car. 69.126.96.60 (talk) 04:47, 3 September 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You need to widen your horizons! The Mazda 6 is one of many larger family cars available in hatchback format. Not worthy of any particular mention over any other - Ford Sierra of the 1980s and Austin Maxi of the 1970s certainly beat Mazda to it, not to mention the larger Rover SD1 and others...

Hatchback Vs. Sedan[edit]

I think we should discuss the differences between hatchback and sedan...

1. "Likewise, a sedan could technically be considered a hatchback"

I don't think I agree. According to the definition "sloped back and a rear door that swings upwards when opened" a sedan does not qualify because it does not have a rear door. it has a trunk lid.

2. "Hatchbacks tend to have some common features, such as a shared passenger and cargo area, but the definition of "hatchback" depends only on the sloped back and the rear door."

What is the definition of a door? To me it makes sense that a door grants access to a passenger area. If you agree then that is a great reason why a hatchback and sedan are different. The trunk lid is not a door because it does not grant access to the passenger area. A hatch is more than a trunk lid because it does.

Also, the sentence above is contradicted later by "While sedans have a separate area for cargo (three-box design), hatchbacks have a two-box design where the passenger area and cargo area are combined."

If this second quote remains true, then again sedan and hatchback are not equal.

I have no objective evidence for this, just seems logical to me... but also I own a 1st generation mazda6 hatch... the mazda6 hatch and sedan look far more alike than most models... but still distinctly called 4 door (sedan) and 5 door (hatch) the extra door being the hatch because it provides passenger area access.

Makes sense to me anyway! Thoughts?

(p.s. the sedan article lists various hatchbacks as sedans too.... but is this valid?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.138.255 (talk) 23:44, 30 January 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Wikilink for "hatch"[edit]

The intro is difficult to understand for people (most of the world) who don't know what a hatch is: 

A hatchback is a car with a hatch-type rear door

So I suggest wikilinking to the article that explains what a hatch is.

Unfortunately, that article is Trapdoor and only says: 

A hatch, an opening which may also be in a wall and need not be flush with the surface, is similar

Improvements welcome :-)
