The “weekend warrior,” another term for a hatchback car, is a mix between sedan and SUV, given its roomy cargo area and vertical hatch rear door. If you’re curious about what weekend warriors have to offer, here are the key benefits.
Space
There’s no denying that a hatchback offers more cargo space than a sedan. What’s more, it’s not quite as much as what you’ll find in the average SUV, which to some people might be overkill. If you discover later that you could use more space, models like the 2020 Corolla Hatchback feature 60/40-split folding rear seats, which can give you much more room for big trips or moving day.
Headroom and Visibility
Hatchbacks are usually slightly taller than sedans, leading to a higher roof line and better room to stretch out for passengers, or more room to stack cargo in the back. What’s more, this taller frame also leads to better visibility for passengers and the driver. If you prefer good visibility without riding high like an SUV, a weekend warrior may be perfect.
Smaller Frame
Compared to SUVs, weekend warriors are smaller and more agile, a good trait in cramped city environments, parking lots, and much more. The 2020 Yaris Hatchback, for example, is smaller than some sedans without sacrificing on interior volume, and with the right body shape that navigates through tight spaces.
Weekend warriors, also known as hatchbacks, are a wise middle ground between sedans and SUVs, offering advantages from both sides. Peruzzi Toyota is here to answer any questions about Toyota hatchbacks and get you the best vehicle for your needs.
