Actually if you think about it, in terms of boot space the main determiner is not whether you have a lot of things to bring but if you usually ferry people or travel on your own/with a single passenger. A hatch with folded seats (as shown here) can sometimes be more useful for porting certain items. The differentiator is that a sedan can still carry plenty of luggage with four passengers, not so the hatch.
For color guard, we have to bring six foot long flag poles with us to comps and to practice. sedans just aren't big enough to store the flag even diagonally. but the hatch back was able to. for me, i the biggest downside of the hatchback is the increased cabin noise. but the extra space is a strong practical advantage. basically, if you're going be driving more often with passengers: get sedan cargo: get hatchback
Thank you for the good sharing. Sedan has more trunk space compare to hatchback. Even though the hatchback has smaller trunk space, if we manage to storage nicely, we can maximize the trunk space.
THANK YOU for mentioning the Yaris has more rear headroom than the Vios but is true. all the people I know insist vios has more headroom which is not true. Because they’re short, they dont know the struggle so I don’t blame them. 😂
Really useful points you guys covered. Crispy and crystal clear video about sedan or hatchback. Thank you keep rocking.. I feel hatchback is good and value for money.
It depends. I loved my hatchback, but am leaning more towards a sedan as my next car. It really depends on your preference as you can make both work unless you know there will be situations where you will need a hatchback design frequently.
Very informative video. I have always loved my sedans with the security of the trunk and they are so quiet in the cab, but my next vehicle will be a hatchback. A hatchback is basically a pickup with a topper, except that it gets the same mpg as a car. I want to be able to throw a car engine or transmission in the back of it when I get parts at the salvage yard 600 miles away. My 9 mpg pickup doesn't cut it for long trips like that. The reason I always hated hatchbacks over the years is that dust and dirt build up on the back window on gravel roads and you have to look through that little hole that the windshield wiper makes and lots of times it is streaky. For the mpg I will make the sacrifice though.
i thought my 12 mpg suv was bad 😂 i can't imagine getting less than 10mpg. anyway, i have a Honda fit, subcompact hatchback. nice car. 32 mpg which is awesome. but i hate driving friends in it. we all prefer driving in the SUV, but practically speaking, people drive alone more often than with passengers so my hatchback gets more miles than SUV, despite my liking the SUV more
@@johndelapena3484 I actually just bought a 2008 Honda Fit automatic this summer before fall semester at college. I usually get 36 mpg during the summer and am getting 32 mpg during the winter. I commute 75 miles roundtrip. I love how much power this car has! It is happiest at 80 mph.
@@bobochan4699 I have hauled a silverado's transfer case in my Honda FIT. I layed a piece of plywood down first and there are 4 eyelets in the back like a pickup for securing the transfer case.
I would call the Vios as Yaris Sedan rather than Yaris as Vios Hatchback. Yaris is more of a global product like Polo, Peugeot 208, Mazda2. And slapping a boot is more to accommodate niche market like southeast Asia.. Either sedan or hatch, you won't go wrong with a Toyota..
Especially when i want to carry bicycles, any station wagon, hatchback or SUV will be the best without any problem . The boot space of a sedan maybe large but that does not translate to clever ultisation of boot space to its fullest like able to put in a bicycle, hence creating unnecessary problems due to cargo space . Sedan design age much faster than hatchback . hatchback design is way more evergreen over the years . Safety of sedan with a boot length is not necessary safe if the material use is of "Milo Tin" strength. Fuel consumption of sedan is way more thirstier. Most people are buying SUV rather than any C or D segment sedan nowadays. Sales volume of SUV speak for itself . Only our grandfather time, they will buy big sedan for the extra boot space because there were no SUV or MPV way back then Overall winner will still be SUV, hatchback or station wagon as seen in most western countries and many Asian countries are not way behind also Gone are the days , people will buy C or D segment sedan but not anymore .
Personally it depends on the person and the country you live in. I’d choose sedan to hatchback since it gives more prestige. Which for me is more important than young perception for example. However, I would probably opt for an SUV to drive daily since the versatility to go on bad roads is more needed. While the sedan be used for more special occasions. Hence get a camry class sedan and a SUV class Vios (does that make sense? I hope it does)
Wonder which would be better for the highway. Would the hatch be worse off at high speeds 110km/h than the sedans due to the lighter weight and poorer aerodynamics? Or would the difference be negligible with modern day aero engineering measures? I suppose aero would have significance on a light hatches like an axia, at speeds of 110/120. Just my bathroom time thoughts. 🚽 🤷♂️
Hatchbacks are usually less aerodynamic, but newer hatchbacks have gotten better with a more sedan like trunk instead of it being straight down in the back.
i went with a hatchback because i have to move furnitures sometimes. and ikea shopping lol. easier to park. but i would imagine sedans being better at high speed and at handling though. anyhows, the first car, practicality is the most important. and so hatchback.
Wah gc mah.. If someone comes up to you and say... heyy gc mah i am planning to buy a rolls royce phantom. Will you accept that or would you stick with a hatchback
A hatchback only looks good if it was designed purely to be a hatchback. The Yaris and the coming city hatchback looks ugly cos its a chopped up sedan.
That's not a proper hatchback , A hatchback car will always have more cargo space , Take for example Mazda 3 , I own its hatch back version and its cargo 60% more. Toyota needs to work on their cars only "proper" hatchback they producing is called "Toyota Vitz". I don't know if its available in your China but do check that out , That car has more cargo than corolla Sedan. cheers!
