Best Hatchbacks according to our experts

01.
Kia Stinger
From
$48,400
8.0/10
From
$48,400
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
$67,980
7.1/10
From
$67,980
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
$38,880
7.6/10
From
$38,880
The Audi A3 is a popular premium hatchback in a market increasingly interested in SUVs, so can it continue to hold the small car fort after a mid‑life update?
04.
Volkswagen Golf
From
$34,750
8.0/10
From
$34,750
The Volkswagen Golf GTI is still one of the benchmark hatchbacks out there. But it's getting very pricey.
