The hatchback deserves its reputation for versatility and practicality. If you’re looking for stylish good looks, the two-door Fiat 500 delivers smooth curves and plenty of styles via three very competent trims. From 2018 though, all the trims got a 1.4L turbocharged engine as well.
The Hyundai Veloster offers coupe-style good looks with classic hatchback versatility, while the zippy Mazda3 is excellent for those looking for a more opulent feel. If it’s spacious interiors you’re looking for, then the Honda doesn’t disappoint. The Civic presents impressive in-cabin storage and cargo capability from a modest 25.7 cu. ft up to 46.2 cu. ft behind the driver. The Fit has an equally expansive cargo space of 52.7 cu. ft and both get Honda’s nifty Magic Seat system, which is excellent for oddly shaped or larger cargo.
For those of us who love new technology, the tech features can be the deciding factor when it comes to picking a car. For high-end features at a base trim entry point, look at the Chevrolet Spark. Its base trim includes Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® capability, seven-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth® connectivity, USB points, and plenty more. This gives you plenty of cool gadgets at a value for the money price point.
Finally, we like to think of the hard-working hatchback as the original crossover vehicle. These are comfortable people-pleasing vehicles that come in a range of stylish shapes and colors and always go the extra mile to deliver value. Popular with a number of customers, hatchbacks are easy to fit into any lifestyle and budget. They are also conveniently sized, easy to maneuver, and offer plenty of perks for urban driving.
