A hatchback, for one, is a type of CAR with a rear door that opens upwards. It is typically characterized by a sloping roofline and a large cargo area. Hatchbacks are often seen as more practical than other types of cars due to their increased storage space and ease of access. They are also generally more fuel efficient than other types of cars. The term 'hatchback' is derived from the fact that the rear door opens like a hatch on a boat.
