Size and Visual Differences

 

Size is a big difference between the body styles of coupes,rnsedans, and hatchbacks. Coupes have the smallest interior space compared tornsedans and hatchbacks. Sedans meet in the middle while hatchbacks offer thernlargest interior volume. It is important to note that the extra space forrnhatchbacks is located in the trunk. Many sedans and hatchbacks will share similarrnpassenger space while hatchbacks can hold more luggage. Both sedans andrnhatchbacks are great family options. Coupes, on the other hand, are great forrnindividuals but won’t be able to hold families.

 

Because of distinctive sizes, the visual appeal willrnfluctuate. Coupes typically will have two doors while sedans and hatchbacks oftenrnhave four. Coupes also tend to look the sportiest of the three while hatchbacksrnare the least sporty.
