English term or phrase: lift gate
Para um carro comum, seria adequado utilizar qual termo? Seria a porta do porta-malas?
Gustavo
tampa do porta-malas
Explanation:
Designação PT-BR para "lift gate" ("tailgate", nos EUA).

Em Portugal, seria "porta da bagageira" (em veículos 2-volumes, hatchback). A designação "tampa da bagageira" reserva-se normalmente para veículos 3-volumes (sedan).

Lift Gate = The rear opening on a hatchback.
Tailgate = The rear opening of a truck, station wagon or van.

Nota: alguns autores distinguem entre tailgate (tampa com rebatimento descendente) e liftgate (tampa com rebatimento ascendente). O nome será o mesmo, mas a principal diferença é mesmo a utilização regional: tailgate (EUA) e liftgate (mais utilizado no Reino Unido).
