    The world's most popular nameplate is still Australia's most popular small passenger car. The current‑generation Toyota Corolla hatchback is getting on now, but is it still a solid offering in a sea of small SUVs?

    The Kia Cerato S is worth considering if you want a decent amount of space at a competitive price tag, the ownership options are great but is it a good alternative for your family? Or should you spend more to get a higher spec version of this hatch?

    Mazda 3

    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.

    Hyundai I30
    From
    $23,987
    8.6/10
    From
    $23,987
    The Hyundai i30 sees an update for the 2025 model line and the now entry‑level N Line variant gets the best of the new stuff; making it a strong contender for being one of the better base‑model hatches to come out in recent years for its segment.
