liftbacks

Liftbacks are a style of automobile with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area, combining the sloped roofline of a sedan with the practicality of a hatchback.

The term distinguishes cars where the rear glass and body panel lift as a single unit from traditional trunk designs.

Liftbacks became popular in the 1970s and 1980s as automakers sought to offer sporty styling with increased cargo versatility.

The liftback design gives you more room for groceries than a regular sedan.
