Hatchback or sedan? How to choose?
History of creation
Hatchback - this is quite popular in our time, body type, which has long been a serious competitor to the sedan. The word "hatchback" is formed from two English words "hatch" - hatch and "back" - at the back. The body began its history in the pre-war years. In the distant 40s of the twentieth century, the company Citroën began to produce first cars with a wide rear hatch, later the American company Kaiser Motors picked up the baton, releasing two models into the world: Frazer Vagabond and Kaiser Traveler. Hatchbacks have gained wide popularity due to the efforts of the Japanese. In Europe, the fashion for these bodies began after the release of the French Renault 16.
What does a hatchback look like
The hatchback is a 3- or 5-door body, has one or two rows of seats, as well as a short rear overhang, and it also has a door in the rear wall. Hatchback length is often less than the sedan, which gives him a number of advantages in urban environments. As a rule, a hatchback has a sloping roof, which smoothly, without steps, passes into the trunk lid. Also, this body may be a three-volume, but even in this case, the lower overhang remains shortened.
Which is better to choose a hatchback or sedan?
In order to make it easier for you to decide on the choice of the body of the future car, we present a list of advantages and disadvantages of a sedan and hatchback. After reviewing it, you will receive useful information that will help you with your choice.
Hatchback. Benefits
Quite compact dimensions, while not burdened with a “tail,” which allows them to maneuver perfectly on the streets of the city.
A wide opening of the luggage compartment, which allows you to load dimensional items (TVs, washing machines, etc.)
Attractive appearance, having some similarities with sports cars (in demand among young people).
Hatchbacks also have several drawbacks.
The absence of a partition and sound insulation between the cabin and the luggage compartment leads to the fact that while driving you will hear and feel all the sounds and smells that come from the trunk.
Also, due to the fact that the cabin volume increases due to the boot, in the winter period it is difficult for the car to warm up.
The size of the trunk becomes larger than the trunk of a sedan, only in the case of dismantling or folding the rear row of seats.
Sedan. Benefits
The sedan has a more presentable appearance than the hatchback. This makes it a favorite among older motorists.
Insulated trunk. The trait, which is a disadvantage of a competitor, is absent from a sedan. You will not hear any extraneous noise from the trunk while driving.
