Combi coupé is a name used by Saab for a specific car body style. It is essentially a hatchback that is more of a saloon (sedan) than an estate car (station wagon) or typical hatchback. The bodystyle was first introduced in the 1974 Saab 99, but Saab also discussed making it available for the Saab 96 and went so far as to create the prototype Saab 98.
On the Saab 900 the three door combi coupé is, despite having larger loading space than the sedan, often seen as sportier than the sedan. This may be due to that the look is reminding of a fastback.
Other vehicles exhibiting this form, though not the name, include Volkswagen Passat, Renault 30, Citroën BX, the mid-1980s Mazda 626 and the Saab 9000 hatchback.
For the USA market this body style was called a "Waggon Back".
