Hatchback Cars

Hatchbacks and superminis have similar body styles, but hatchbacks tend to be a bit bigger and better suited for families. Some popular hatchbacks are the Mini Cooper hatch, Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra, Volkswagen Golf, etc. There are the familiar faces, while there are other hatchbacks that remain popular with the crowd. The best thing about hatchbacks is that they offer space for four, some luggage room, all the latest features while remaining easy to drive and own.

Hatchback buying guide

Most used hatchback cars listed for sale on AA Cars - particularly the most recent models - come with an impressive range of features. Air conditioning, in-car entertainment systems, LED headlights and parking sensors are some of the advanced features you can find. But getting the right deal and best value in your next vehicle can mean a balance between features and price.

For a used hatchback car that comes with the latest features, you'll often have to pay a higher price. But if the car has a high mileage, there's always a chance of finding a bargain. One thing that you don't have to compromise on is how practical you need your next vehicle to be. Some of the options available will be better than others. So, if this is important to you, look for those used hatchback cars that come with more flexible seating arrangements in the back - are they split-folded, do they fold as one and can they create an extended, flat boot space.

Some might even come with sliding rear seats, so you can increase boot space without having to use the kids' seating space in the rear. A great example of a practical hatchback is the Honda Jazz, which offers way more room than competition with a clever design. However, if you prefer performance or solid engineering, there are options from Volkswagen, Ford or Mini. Modern hatchback options are all equally impressive and, in the end, it comes down to what you prefer.

  • Why buy them?

    Did you know that hatchback cars get their name from the 'hatch-type' design of the rear door? This door, which covers the boot space, is hinged at roof level and lifts upwards for easy access. As this boot lid is counted as an extra door, this is why you'll have a choice between a 3-door or a 5-door hatchback when you look for your next vehicle.

    This design feature is one reason why hatchback cars are such a popular choice. It means their overall design is more compact if you compare them to saloons or other bodystyles. By making the most of the available space, hatchbacks are an incredibly practical car. They give you space to fit in passengers, as well as the flexibility of folding seats to increase the boot space.

    But the compact design has other advantages too. Small hatchback cars are easier to park and drive in a busy city, while the fuel efficient engines you often find under the bonnet make them more affordable to run. You might also pay less (or even no) tax on newer used hatchback cars for sale, because of their lower emissions.

    For learners, a hatchback car can make perfect sense thanks to their easy handling style. More experienced motorists, meanwhile, might well value their comfort and strong Euro NCAP safety scores. And don't forget how hot hatches are among the most iconic cars on the road. Think the Mini or the Fiat 500 for eye-catching examples of used hatchback cars that you can find here.

  • Which should I buy?

    With the depth of choice available through AA Cars, it can be hard to decide exactly which used hatchback car is right for you. But don't worry - we can help you find the options that'll provide you with everything you need in your next vehicle. From our huge collection of used hatchbacks for sale, you'll be able to find the ideal option to suit your individual sense of style too.

    Are you a learner or newly-qualified driver? Small hatchback cars could prove the most effective choice. Fuel efficient engines, lower emissions, handling ease and more affordable running costs are likely to be important features you want. The Vauxhall Corsa or the Ford Fiesta are excellent examples of used hatchback cars for sale that fit this particular bill.

    Do you need a new runaround for the family - something that can handle the commute and the school run? With flexible boot space and comfortable interiors, hatchback cars are a surprisingly practical option for some. Models such as the Peugeot 3008, VW Golf, Audi A3 or Skoda Octavia are more than well-equipped - and buying used can get you exceptional value for your money.

    For something a little sportier, however, a hot hatch is your best bet. Despite what might seem like a smaller engine, you can find used hatchbacks for sale that offer plenty of agility and pace to enhance your driving experience. The Seat Leon, Mazda 3 or even the SUV-styled Ford Focus have the potential to make you think again about what a used hatchback car is capable of.

  • What is a hatchback?

    A hatchback is a type of car that features a lift-up rear door/tailgate/hatch. This allows for easy loading and unloading. Hatchbacks are one of the most loved body styles as they offer a lot of practicality without being too big or expensive.

  • How to attach a bike rack to a hatchback?

    You can either use a rear-mounted bike rack or a roof-mounted bike rack on a hatchback. The former is more affordable and easier to install as they can be attached to the edges of a hatchback boot. But make sure you buy a rack that is compatible with your hatchback. Meanwhile, the roof-mounted rack attaches to the top of the vehicle on to roof bars. This rack does not obstruct the vehicle operation, lights or rearview outside. Both these racks offer different advantages and disadvantages.

  • Which hatchback has the biggest boot?

    The Škoda Octavia, which is a hatchback by definition, has the largest boot space of almost 600 litres! Other hatchbacks with a large boot are the Citroen C4 X, Renault Megane, Peugeot 308, and the Honda Civic.

  • What is the difference between hatchback and sedan cars?

    The most important difference between a hatchback and a sedan is the body style and design, mainly how the rear end is designed. In a sedan car, there is a separate boot that extends out of the car’s body, separate from the passenger area. Whereas, in a hatchback, the boot is part of the car’s body and passenger area, and it opens upwards, hinging on the top of the vehicle body.
