Popular Hatchbacks to buy in 2020
Hatchbacks feature a distinct body configuration with a rear door that swings upwards to provide access to the cargo area. They may also feature fold-down second row seating. A unique feature of the hatchback is that the interior can be easily reconfigured to prioritize passenger versus cargo volume. Cars with such body configurations can be traced back to 1930’s.
