People on the market for a hatchback are often overwhelmed with the specs and features of different models and trims. We’ve reviewed the latest redesigns in Hatchbacks that are on the market today to help weed out the great from the not-so-great. Read on!
Mini Hardtop 2 Door:
The 2017 redesign of the Mini Hardtop 2 Door is a fun drive with nimble handling, an upscale interior, and automatic transmission that goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 7 seconds. The front seats are adequate and comfortable and the height of the cabin is suitable for tall drivers and passengers. The engines are quick and the car is fuel-efficient too.
Kia Rio:
The Kia Rio enjoyed a redesign in 2018. This version has a pleasant interior and is a price-conscious option that has good value. It has a long warranty coverage and impressive fuel economy. This is a car best suited for city driving – with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and 120 horsepower, you won’t get a lot of speed on the highway. Having said that, the smooth automatic transmission makes this a good contender for affordable, quality hatchbacks.
Honda Civic:
The Honda Civic (the 2022 redesign) has intuitive tech features, amazing real-world fuel economy, and increased cargo room. It’s a powerful car with sharp handling that’s fun to drive. The Honda Civic is available as a front wheel drive. Lower trips offer 158- hp on a 2.0-liter four cylinder engine. However, you can also opt for the turbocharged 1.5-liter four cylinder that delivers a roaring 180-hp.
Mazda 3:
The 2019 redesign of the Mazda 3 has a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration, a new carbon turbo package, and is now all-wheel drive only. Its generous interiors and quick acceleration with the upgrade in the engine are also points in its favor. It also offers responsive steering and confident handling making it an enjoyable car to drive.
MINI Clubman:
This family-friendly Mini has a roomy interior and upgraded engines. There is confident handling even in the basic trims and the cabin materials are luxurious and high quality. You get a range of personalization options too. This is a distinctive hatchback in terms of style, size, and energetic performance.
Subaru Impreza:
The Subaru Impreza (2024 redesign) offers a comparatively low-cost standard all-wheel drive and a roomy interior and cargo space. With impressive driver assist features, light steering, and comfortable seating, it’s a smooth ride.
