Length in this particular case is not an indicator of headroom - look at the pictures.

What I find as an interesting surprise, is that the hatchback has more rear headroom than the sedan.

I don't think this is typical unless comparing a sport coupe to a hatchback.

Should we be calling the version with a trunk a sport sedan?

Marketing, we just cannot escape it.
