We’re a big fan of cars—it’s right there in our name!—especially those that are practical and fun-to-drive. Hatchbacks hit both those marks better than most other body styles, offering a rear liftgate and easily accessible, open cargo area like most SUVs. Plus, they have the perky driving attributes of a small car. Unless you’re hauling a family of five or venturing off-road, a hatchback will serve you better than that crossover across the showroom, and it’ll deliver better fuel economy too.
Those who are interested in the best hatchbacks from 2021 can refer to last year’s list.
