Hatchbacks provide maximum practicality in a small package, with a combination of efficiency and a reputation for driving enjoyment

Aside from obvious advantages like cargo flexibility and overall utility, the modern hatchback has some often-overlooked attributes. They tend to be easier to park. In most cases the hatch is shorter than its sedan counterpart and the driver can see the D-pillars, which gives a visual reference — a plunging trunk lid line often means the corners of a sedan go unseen. They also have more rear seat headroom because of the longer, flatter roofline, and if you ask us, that also leads to superior looks, whether in practical econobox trims or spicy hot-hatch flavours. Here are Driving’s five picks for best hatchbacks. All start at under $30,000 (except for our honourable mention) and come with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and the key safety features unless otherwise noted.
