Best Hatchbacks according to our experts

01.
Volkswagen Golf
From

10.0/10
From
$31,490
Before you sign up to that compact SUV, do yourself yourself a favour.
02.
Hyundai I30
From
$19,990
8.8/10
From
$19,990
For sheer, track‑tuned hot‑hatch excitement in a sedan suit, nothing tastes quite as sweet as the Hyundai i30 Sedan N. As sharply‑priced as it is styled, the Subaru WRX pocket‑rocket alternative has undergone a substantial facelift for 2024, gaining myriad chassis upgrades to make it even more of a hoot. That something that grew from the dull old Elantra can be so feisty and fun is quite amazing.
03.
Mazda 3
From
$19,589
8.5/10
From
$19,589
Now half a decade old, the current Mazda 3 range has not only aged well, but has undergone a consistent stream of improvements to help keep the Japanese small car stalwart fresh. Key changes for 2024 include updated multimedia and functionality upgrades, but the real story is just how competitive ‑ as well as premium ‑ the higher‑end grades like the G25 Evolve SP feel. Premium sums it up nicely.
04.
Toyota Corolla
From
$24,990
8.4/10
From
$24,990
If the Corolla SX Hybrid sedan is not at the top of your urban vehicle list, then why not?
05.
Kia Cerato
From
$20,759
8.1/10
From
$20,759
Just because small sedans like the Cerato are a dying breed doesn't mean they're no good. Quite the opposite, actually.
