List of liftback/sportback/fastback cars from the last decade?

[LeperousDust]

I'm finding it hard to get a short list of car models that are a sloping style hatchback. It's rare you can filter by that style as its fundamentally a hatchback, but also because it goes by slightly different names and manufactures have trademarked their own, its equally hard to search for them too. Also some car models change on refreshing the model (looking at you Skoda Superb!) Catch 22 i need to know them to find them.

I want the occasional space of an estate with the aesthetic of a saloon/executive car, which brings me back to them time and time again.

In the process of selling my Laguna Mk3, which has done me proud and looking at what my take its place.

I'm considering a 3 series Gran Turismo right now

If you can't fit a washing machine in there then it's not really the space of an estate.

May be good for skiis?

My take is you can fit a washing machine in most liftbacks, because you end up tying the boot down half open like some cheap rate estate. That's how i go about it anyhoo

3GT isn't too bad if you can get over the looks.

5GT space increase really is the sweeter spot iirc in terms of usability.

A7 has always looked large but I have to admit I don't recall ever seeing the rear space so can't say for sure but would suggest looking there too.


However, I think the second gen skoda superb will be hard to beat!

4GC is a much prettier alternative though not as capacious.

I will no doubt survive as i've been happy to be seen in a Laguna mk3 for a long time.

Most of what i'm seeing coming up are a little above what i want to pay, although i have my eye out for higher mileage heros too. Car market is fairly bonkers eh.

2nd Gen is Saloon, 3rd Gen is back to hatch (i think - i'll have to double check this again myself).

agreed

that does look *very* good

2nd Gen is both saloon and hatch, it had two buttons under the boot lid one would open the boot like a saloon, the other would open the boot like a hatch, pretty clever really.

decent practical too

I think the second gen used their twindoor trickery so it could be both hatch (at liftback angles) and saloon.

Edit: yeh, as coupe69 says above
