Hatchback or Liftback - Toyota Yaris Forums

MadMax · 08-14-2010, 12:38 PM

It doesn't, there is no difference between a hatchback (the more common term in the US) and a liftback (the term Toyota likes to use "to be different"). They are one in the same, and most (myself) use the terms interchangeably...

Personally, I prefer "hatchback" as it does provide access to the area I refer to as the "hatch." I think the opposite of Stove, to me a hatchback means when the entire back of the car opens up (like on the Yaris), and a liftback is more like the Saab. But it's a free country, and everyone is entitled to think the way they want...

Cheers! M2
