Best Answer

An estate car is a station wagon.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines a station wagon as "an automobile with one or more rows of folding or removable seats behind the driver and no luggage compartment but an area behind the seats into which suitcases, parcels, etc., can be loaded through a tailgate." The dictionary also calls the term an "Americanism."

A hatchback, in contrast, has a proper boot that constitutes the rear of the vehicle and opens in an outward and upward fashion. Hatchbacks are usually smaller than estates.

What is the difference between sedan and hatchback?

The main difference is how the trunk space is partitioned. Hatchbacks are also normally shorter than sedans. With a sedan, the trunk is partitioned away from the passenger cabin and is only accessible by opening the trunk. With a hatchback there is no trunk per se. A hatchback has space behind the rear passenger seat that is accessible through a rear door or window; often referred to as a "hatch", "lift gate", or some other term.
