Hatchbacks are a pretty great option for anyone that’s looking for a practical daily driver. These cars have compact dimensions, a lot of space on the inside, and incredible fuel economy. They are also available in a number of fun trims and can be a hoot to drive in. Here are some of our favorite hatchbacks.
Volkswagen Golf
The Golf is designed with a 147-hp turbo four-cylinder, making it fun to drive despite being a tad bit slow. This model is quite affordable, offers great fuel efficiency, and is very practical. This is one of the best hatchbacks available in the market right now.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
The GTI is the sportier version of the Volkswagen Golf hatchback. This one has more power and upgraded performance pieces. You can choose between an engaging manual transmission and an automatic. The four-cylinder engine makes 228 horsepower. The GTI should be at the top of your list if you are looking for a slightly more sporty hatchback.
Honda Civic Hatchback
With a practical interior, lots of technology features, and a powerful engine on offer, the Honda Civic is a great choice if you are looking for a hatchback. It has many versions to choose from, and each is affordable and efficient. The Civic makes for a fun driving experience.
Hyundai Veloster N
Despite the unusual design, the Veloster N offers sharp steering, agile handling, and great grip, especially when turning tight corners. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine makes 250 horsepower, but you can opt for the Performance package to get 275 horsepower. The cabin is less distinct when compared to its very extroverted exterior. It has light blue seatbelts, an 8.0 touchscreen, and seats that add a lot of flair. It’s, however, lacking in terms of the driver-assistance features.
Mazda 3
The 2020 Mazda 3 can be considered a car that is much more than the sum of its parts. It’s powered by an efficient engine and offers amazing handling and performance. The interior is so nice that you may mistake it for that of a luxury car. It’s, however, not the fastest hatchback on the list.
