It's definitely not a saloon - the rear opening is hinged above the window.

Whether it is a hatchback or shooting brake is open to interpretation. The two reasons I would call this a Shooting Brake as opposed to a hatchback are:
A - the rear opening is hinged at the 'D' pillar location rather than the 'C' pillar.
B - the manufacturer has designated it as a shooting brake.

So it fits into the Estate/Station Wagon/Shooting Brake/Sports Tourer category IMO.
