Best Hatchbacks according to our experts

01.
Kia Stinger
From
$52,750
8.0/10
From
$52,750
The Kia Stinger has only been around since 2017 but it's made an impact in the heavy‑hitting sportback market for good reason. Australians have a strong history with high octane sedans. You were either a Holden or Ford family, not both. However, the Stinger was never meant to compete with our 'Aussie muscle' and is pitted against European thoroughbreds. Is the Stinger still holding its own?
02.
Peugeot 508
From
$81,610
7.1/10
From
$81,610
In a market where 'going green' is seen as the new frontier, it's no surprise Peugeot has jumped on the bandwagon. Does its new plug‑in hybrid 508 Sportswagon hit the sweet spot?
03.
Audi A3
From
$50,600
7.0/10
From
$50,600
As much as any carmaker Audi has embraced the automotive world's push into SUVs. But it hasn't forgotten its sedan and hatch (Sportback) heritage. The new updated A3 fine tunes an already impressive package with cosmetic tweaks, extra safety, new engine tech, and revised interior layout. What's the catch? It costs more.
04.
Volkswagen Golf
From
$39,190
8.0/10
From
$39,190
The Volkswagen Golf GTI is still one of the benchmark hatchbacks out there. But it's getting very pricey.
