Best Hatchbacks according to our experts

01.
Kia Stinger
From
$46,532
8/10
From
$46,532

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.
Audi A7
From
$65,800
8.5/10
From
$65,800

The 2019 Audi A7 45 TFSI model is the entry‑point to the second‑generation large luxury hatchback range.


03.
Tesla Model S
From
$68,888
9/10
From
$68,888

Tesla's Model S is the pride of the ground‑breaking electric carmaker's fleet. So, how does this sleek, full‑size, five‑door hatch fit with a family of four's requirements for a full week. Can the quiet achiever live up to its smooth reputation, and justify its not insubstantial price‑tag?


04.
Peugeot 508
From
$63,431
7.1/10
From
$63,431

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?


05.
Skoda Octavia
From
$28,990
7.6/10
From
$28,990

The Skoda Octavia RS wagon might be the go‑to car for families who want a sporty, stylish model with practicality as its middle name, but how did the new‑gen sports wagon deal with family life for Matt Campbell? He lived with it for six months ‑ through the birth of his first child, a 100‑plus‑day lockdown, and through a few annoying car tech glitches. He's what he thought.
