Best Hatchbacks according to our experts

01.
Audi S5
From

8.5/10
From

Family cars are designed to handle all the boring but important stuff. They’re safe, reliable and practical enough to ferry the family. But wouldn't it be nice if they were fun, too?
02.
Skoda Octavia
From

8.5/10
From

The Skoda Octavia RS has been a vital player in the brand's range in Australia for years now, and this new version is smarter, sharper and even cleverer than the last one. With a liftback sedan or wagon to choose from, and still with a punchy petrol turbo engine, is this the best alternative to a Subaru WRX on the market right now?
03.
Audi A5
From
$72,380
8.3/10
From
$72,380
As the Audi A4 badge goes electric for now, the A5 becomes its spiritual successor. The Audi A5 has just landed in Australia in Sedan or Avant wagon form, and there's a fast S5 version too. We sampled them all during the winter launch in Victoria to find out how it stacks up.
04.
Peugeot 508
From
$55,770
8.2/10
From
$55,770
Believe it or not, you don't actually have to buy an SUV if you have a family. Companies like Peugeot offer new versions of a very old idea ‑ the station wagon ‑ and the 508 Sportswagon certainly beats most high‑riding trucks when it comes to looks. But is it any good for a family in the real world?
