The term "rear hatch" refers to a door or an opening located at the back, specifically on the rear end of a vehicle. This is typically where cargo and luggage are loaded and unloaded from the car, truck, van, or SUV. The rear hatch can be opened manually by lifting it up or using a remote control to open it with the push of a button. Some vehicles also have power liftgate options that automatically open the rear hatch when sensors detect an approaching user.
