That's the 9th gen one, not the 10th gen one.This one sure looks like 4-door with the handle up behind the window like the HR-V.
But the 10th gen hatch shape isn't as wedge-shaped (not as sloping) as the current one, and the 10th gen sedan is bigger overall with bigger interior, so the hatchback should have more cargo capacity overall.Exactly on the roofline. Unfortunately if the R spyshots are correct I'm afraid the slope will eat up too much space. Wish they would've just brought the estate over. The estate has just less than 60 cu/ft of cargo space. I could probably get by with that. Thinking the hatch will have 47-52 which will make it too small for me.
4 door. I think people have begun calling hatches 3/5 door over the last few years. But, the hatch is not a typical place of egress/ingress for a person. Therefore, it is called 4 door hatchback. Or, 4 door sedan. 2 door hatch or 2 door coupe.Technically a 5 door.![]()
What qualifies as the last few years for you ? For as long as I can remember (and yeah I may be quite young) we've always called "hatchbacks" 3/5 doors cars to differentiate it from 2/4 door cars who are always coupe/sedans. But again I was born in an european country's colony so maybe it's just an european thing.4 door. I think people have begun calling hatches 3/5 door over the last few years.

The new sedan managed to gain 2.6 cu/ft of cargo space compared to the old sedan. I don't think 12-15 cu/ft extra over the current hatch is remotely possible.The current hatch is about 45 cu/ft with its magic seats. I'll be surprised(..and very happy) if they add 12-15 cu/ft with the roofline still sloped that much. Honda engineers are very good at maximizing interior space so you never know.
