The hatchback car has become one of the most popular vehicle types in recent years. With its compact body, roomy interior, and excellent fuel economy, it's no wonder. Hatchbacks are also known for being fun to drive and have tons of styling options to choose from. If you're looking for a stylish sedan or SUV with all-wheel drive that can handle any road conditions (including those in the snow), here are ten recommended models:
Volkswagen Golf
Volkswagen Golf is a German car that's been around for years. It's known for its fun-to-drive and high-quality feel, especially when compared with other models in its class.
The first thing you'll notice about Golf is how comfortable it feels on long trips. The seats are spacious, so there's plenty of legroom for passengers who sit behind you as well as front-seat occupants. The backseat can hold up to five people if needed; however, this isn't recommended due to limited trunk space (though it does have a nice hatchback design).
Ford Focus
The Ford Focus is a compact car and the second best-selling car in the world. It has been on the market since 1998, and it's currently in its sixth generation. The first-generation Focus was available as either a five-door hatchback or four-door sedan; since then, though, Ford has switched to a three-door hatchback for all models except for some special editions that come only with four doors.
The base version of this year's model comes with two engines: one under-hooded 1.5L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that makes 170 horsepower (136 kilowatts) and 170 lb.-ft (224 Newton-meters) of torque; and another 2.0L Atkinson cycle turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine that makes 210 horsepower (160 kilowatts) at 5500 rpm with 300 lb.-ft (407 Newton-meters) of torque at 4800 rpm—both mated with seven-speed manual transmissions or six-speed automatic ones depending on which body style you choose when ordering your ride here in America today.
Honda Civic
The Honda Civic is a compact car that's available as either a sedan or a coupe. It's the best-selling car in Canada, and it's also one of the most popular cars in both Australia and New Zealand. In fact, it's by far one of the most popular vehicles on earth!
The Civic has been around since 1982 when it debuted with four doors—but now you can get yours with five doors too (if you want). The only downside? You'll have to pay more for them.
Subaru Impreza WRX/STI
The Subaru Impreza WRX/STI is a sporty sedan that's not only fun to drive, but also has great gas mileage. It's a bit small in the trunk department, but there's still enough space for groceries or a weekend bag of clothes. The suspension is stiff and doesn't absorb bumps very well; however, if you're looking for an affordable car with some wow factor that can handle winter driving conditions without breaking down or getting stuck in the snowdrifts on back roads—this might be it!
The interior quality isn't on par with other models we've listed here—but don't worry too much about this one because its performance will more than makeup for any shortcomings at first glance.
Kia Forte
The Kia Forte is a great choice for your next car. It's sporty, fun to drive, and has excellent fuel economy. If you're looking for a hatchback that can hold its own on the streets or in the mountains, this one should be at the top of your list.
The Kia Forte is available with two engine options: 1.6-liter four-cylinder or 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engines with 192 horsepower each (or 214hp/205tq). The base model comes with front-wheel drive while all others come standard with all-wheel drive as standard equipment—which makes it ideal for snowy weather conditions where traction control may be needed depending on which type of winter tires you choose when buying tires separately from an aftermarket company like Michelin or Continental.
Mazda 3
The Mazda 3 is a compact car that has been around since 2004. It's one of the most popular hatchbacks on the market, and for good reason: it offers excellent fuel economy, an efficient engine, and an engaging driving experience at any speed.
The Mazda 3's 2.0-liter engine produces 150 horsepower with 150 lb-ft of torque—enough to propel your car from 0-60 mph in 8 seconds or less if you want to cut loose on the open road! You can choose between two transmissions: a six-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission (the latter is standard).
MINI Cooper S
The MINI Cooper S is a sporty car that's great for driving enthusiasts. It has a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, 6-speed manual transmission, and sport suspension.
The MINI Cooper S has an automatic transmission that can be operated with the use of the gear lever or paddles on the steering wheel.
VW Scirocco
The Volkswagen Scirocco is a sporty hatchback that can be driven with enthusiasm and excitement. It's a compact car designed for the driver who wants to have fun behind the wheel, but not at the expense of performance. For example, its turbocharged engine delivers more than 200 horsepower to give you an exhilarating drive when you need it most—and it won't drain your bank account doing so!
The VW Scirocco also offers tight handling thanks to its wide track and low center of gravity (COG). This means that even on rough surfaces like gravel roads or dirt roads you'll maintain control over your vehicle without feeling unsafe or uncomfortable in any way whatsoever.
Ford Fiesta ST
The Ford Fiesta ST is a great car for driving enthusiasts. It has an awesome 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and 6-speed manual transmission with paddle shifters, which makes getting the most out of your drive effortless. For example, if you want to shift into fifth gear while driving at high speed on a winding road or in heavy traffic, it's no problem—just use one hand on each shifter! And if you do get caught up in traffic congestion (and why wouldn't you?), don't worry: there's also an optional limited slip differential that helps keep your car from spinning out when stuck behind another vehicle at highway speeds
Chevy Sonic RS Turbo
The Sonic RS Turbo is one of the most fun, efficient, and affordable compact cars on the market. It’s powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that produces 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. You can expect 0-60 mph times in 5.1 seconds with an EPA fuel economy estimate of 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, or 24 mpg combined (city/highway).
The RS model comes standard with a Chevy MyLink infotainment system with navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and Android Auto compatibility so drivers have access to their favorite apps via voice command or touchscreen controls through its 10-inch display screen located on the dashboard near the center stack area – just below radio controls for volume level adjustment during calls; alongside USB port for charging phones; plus SD card reader which allows users to transfer photos from digital cameras onto computers without having additional memory cards lying around!
