City Hatchbacks

Best Hatchbacks according to our experts

01.
Volkswagen Polo
From
$23,790
8.5/10
From
$23,790
The new VW Polo is bigger than it's ever been before, stretching the boundaries of a "city car" with its cabin space and luggage room. So is the smallest VW now big enough to work as a family car?
02.
Skoda Fabia
From
$23,490
8.0/10
From
$23,490
No matter how impressive a small car is, there’s usually a good chance it can be outdone by a Volkswagen equivalent.
03.
Kia Picanto
From
$18,500
8.0/10
From
$18,500
It might be Australia's cheapest sporty drive, but the Kia Picanto GT is also an endearingly unique urban runabout that punches above its league in many areas, including for packaging, equipment, performance and aftersales care. The GT is also an appealing alternative to larger superminis like the MG3. But with few real chassis upgrades, it's no Suzuki Swift Sport style hot‑hatch rival.
04.
Kia Rio
From
$16,610
7.9/10
From
$16,610
We live in what some might consider the end of days for the once booming small hatch segment, but is the warmed‑over Rio GT‑Line a ray of fun light that competitors can't quite match? We find out.
