Differences Between Hatchbacks and Sedans

[SanCamille]

Differences between sedans and hatchbacks are as follows: 1. Different trunk sizes: Comparatively, the trunk of a sedan is larger than that of a hatchback. A sedan consists of three parts: the engine compartment, the passenger compartment, and the trunk compartment. If the trunk appears relatively small, then it is a hatchback. 2. Different properties: A sedan refers to a car whose body structure is composed of three separate, enclosed compartments with distinct purposes, while a hatchback refers to a car where the cabin and trunk are integrated into a single compartment. 3. Different structures: A sedan is divided into the front engine compartment, the middle passenger compartment, and the rear luggage compartment; a hatchback extends the passenger compartment backward at approximately the same height, combining the rear luggage compartment with the passenger compartment into one, reducing it to two "compartments"—the engine compartment and the passenger compartment—with no protruding rear luggage compartment.
