90-453: The car differs from most other hatchbacks with its asymmetrical door configuration, featuring one large door on the driver side and two smaller doors on the passenger side. This configuration is more common on commercial vehicles and minivans . In North America, the Veloster was equipped with Blue Link , a new telematics system which will eventually be standard on all Hyundai models. The system

180-504: A Kammback coupe instead, with only its rear window being an upwards opening hatch, that gives access to the rear cargo space. The Gremlin was based on the AMC Hornet , but its abrupt hatchback rear end cut the car's overall length from 179 to 161 inches (4,500 to 4,100 mm). AMC added a hatchback version to its larger compact-sized Hornet line for the 1973 model year. The design and fold-down rear seat more than doubled cargo space and

270-406: A turbocharged four-cylinder engine making up to 275 horsepower. In April 2020, the Veloster N received a new 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which is claimed to enable the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. Hatchback A hatchback is a car body configuration with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the main interior of the car as

360-400: A two-box design configuration, a shared interior volume for passengers and cargo and a rear door (often called a tailgate in the case of an estate/wagon) that is hinged at roof level, similar to hatchbacks. Liftback cars are similar to hatchbacks from a functional perspective in having a tailgate hinged from the roof, but differ from hatchbacks from a styling perspective in having more of

450-416: A DB5 sold for a record $ 1.765m (£1.456m), making it the most valuable Shooting Brake bodied-car of any marque sold at auction. In 1992, Aston Martin manufactured in-house a limited production shooting brake variant of its Virage/Vantage , including a four-door shooting brake. Other cars combining elements of a wagon and coupé have been described but were never formally marketed as shooting brakes, including

540-641: A Veloster Coupe in 2011. The car concept was unveiled at the 2007 Seoul Motor Show , with the final production version released on January 11 at the Detroit Auto Show. The Veloster is developed under the codename FS, and is built on a modified version of the Cee'd's front-wheel drive platform. In most of the world the Veloster production model uses a direct-injected 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine with 138 hp (103 kW), and 123 lb⋅ft (167 N⋅m) of torque at 4,850 rpm. A six-speed manual transmission

630-589: A Veloster rallycross car with a 2-liter engine rated at 500 hp (373 kW) and 600 lb⋅ft (813 N⋅m) of torque with a 6-speed sequential transmission and all wheel drive in the Summer X Games during the 2011 US Rallycross Championship Series. The partnership between Rhys Millen Racing and Hyundai Motor America continued for the 2012 Global RallyCross Championship season. After Hyundai had announced it would no longer participate in North American motorsports,

720-563: A cargo area rather than just to a separated trunk. Hatchbacks may feature fold-down second-row seating, where the interior can be reconfigured to prioritize passenger or cargo volume. While early examples of the body configuration can be traced to the 1930s, the Merriam-Webster dictionary dates the term itself to 1970. The hatchback body style has been marketed worldwide on cars ranging in size from superminis to small family cars , as well as executive cars and some sports cars . They are

810-587: A contest and the winning design would be constructed and unveiled in October at the New York Comic Con .

1080-563: A fall in popularity, compared with 5-door models. This has led to many models no longer being offered in 3-door body styles, for example, the Audi A3 and Renault Clio . In 1970, American Motors Corporation (AMC) released the first North American subcompact car since the 1953-1961 Nash Metropolitan , the AMC Gremlin . Although the Gremlin has the appearance of a hatchback, it is frequently called

1170-455: A gray and yellow stripe running the length of the car, yellow trim on the front spoiler, side skirts and rear fascia, as well as a checkered flag theme on the side and roof spoiler and was also unveiled at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show . The North American model went on sale in summer 2012 as a 2013 model year vehicle, with the choice of either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic. The European version

1260-568: A hatchback body style. The Nova hatchback was also rebadged as the Chevrolet Concours , Pontiac Ventura , Pontiac Phoenix , Oldsmobile Omega , Buick Apollo , and Buick Skylark . In 1980, General Motors released its first front-wheel drive hatchback models, the Chevrolet Citation and Pontiac Phoenix . Both AMC and GM offered a dealer accessory that turned their compact hatchback models into low-cost recreational vehicles. An example

1350-619: A hatchback design called the MGB GT, becoming the first volume-production sports car with this type of body. Many coupés have 3 doors , including the Jaguar E-Type and Datsun 240Z .

The Renault 4 was the first million-selling, mass-produced, compact two-box car with a steeply raked rear side, opened by

1440-412: A hiatus from the mid 1970s until the early 2010s, the shooting-brake body style entered a resurgence. A horse-drawn shooting brake was a variation of the break (also spelled brake ). Originally built as a simple but heavy frame for breaking in young horses to drive , over time it became a gentleman-driven vehicle and was popular for such aristocratic sports as shooting parties . Taking the design from

1530-403: A horizontally split tailgate, having a top-hinged upper door and bottom-hinged lower door. The 1959 A40 Countryman differed from the 1958 A40 Farina saloon, in that the rear window was marginally smaller, to allow for a frame that could be lifted with roof-mounted hinges and side support struts so that the car now incorporated a horizontal-split two-piece tailgate. The lower panel was now flush with

1620-481: A large, 8-foot (2.4 m) long interior cargo area. These Kaiser-Frazer models have been described as "America's First Hatchback". The British Motor Corporation (BMC) launched a 'Countryman' version of the Austin A40 Farina two‑box economy car in 1959. Just like its A30 and A35 Countryman predecessors, it was a very small estate car — but instead of regular, sideways opening rear doors, it had

1710-457: A large, one-piece, lift-gate hatch. During its production life cycle, Renault marketed the R4 calling it a small station wagon , just like Austin's series of small Countryman estate models from 1954 until 1968 – even after the term "hatchback" appeared around 1970. The company only offered one two-box body style. The Renault 4 continued in production through 1992, selling over 8 million cars. In 1965,

1800-460: A larger front grille to accommodate intercooling, turbo badging and extra equipment as standard, including push button start (satnav and back-up camera available on top trim level).

1890-572: A lower-power engine outputting 186 PS (137 kW; 183 hp) at 5,500 rpm with the same 265 Nm of torque, but altered to come earlier in the rev range at 1500 rpm. The car has three doors making the Veloster Turbo's shooting brake body style both in North America and in Europe a relative novelty. The Turbo further receives new body panels which add LED lights, large twin exhausts, side skirts,

2250-432: A primary component of sport utility vehicles . The distinguishing feature of a hatchback is a rear door that opens upwards and is hinged at roof level (as opposed to the boot/trunk lid of a saloon/sedan , which is hinged below the rear window). Most hatchbacks use a two-box design body style, where the cargo area ( trunk/boot ) and passenger areas are a single volume. The rear seats can often be folded down to increase

2340-452: A shooting brake. The Aston Martin DB5 , DB6 , and DBS shooting brakes were custom manufactured by coachbuilder Harold Radford from 1965 until 1967. A prototype DB5 shooting-brake was custom produced by the factory for David Brown , an avid hunter and dog owner, and a further 11-12 coupés were custom modified for Aston Martin by independent coachbuilder , Harold Radford . In August 2019

2430-447: A sloped roofline. The term " fastback " may sometimes also be used by manufacturers to market liftback cars. A fastback is a broad automotive term used to describe the styling of the rear of a car in having a single slope from the roof to the rear bumper . Some hatchbacks are notchback three box designs , bearing a resemblance to sedans/saloons from a styling perspective, but being closer to hatchbacks in functionality by having

2520-469: A station wagon include: "Liftback" is a term for hatchback models in which the rear cargo door or hatch is more horizontally angled than on an average hatchback, and as a result, the hatch is lifted more upwards than backward, to open. The term was first used by Toyota in 1973, to describe the Toyota Celica Liftback GT. Toyota called the new body style a Liftback, signifying that it was

2610-434: A tailgate hinged from the roof. This is featured on cars such as the 1951 Kaiser-Frazer Vagabond, Simca 1100 , Mazda 6 GG1 , and Opel Vectra C . As such, notchbacks are not fastbacks, as the slope of the roofline on a notchback is interrupted by its three-box design. An estate/wagon typically differs from a liftback or hatchback by being longer (therefore more likely to have a D-pillar ). Other potential differences of

2700-557: A three-door hatchback rather than a two-door coupe. With its sloping fastback roofline, the Celica Liftback was, if anything, even less habitable for rear-seat passengers than was the hardtop, but the hatchback roof and folding rear seat made the Liftback more versatile for quotidian chores or the sort of "active lifestyle" pastimes that so fascinate advertising copywriters. Later, Toyota needed to distinguish between two 5-door versions of
