Top 3 Hatchbacks Money Can Buy
Tags:
The human race is an unfaithful one, not in terms of the relationships we have with other people, but with the cars we consider to be our own. The driver of an economical hatchback is swift to trade their pride and joy in for something flashier and significantly larger, should a promotion or new member of the family come along the way. While that may sound like a bad thing, it’s a great thing for the exquisite trio, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG, and the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport.
Italy’s finest, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta is a nameplate that dates to 1954 and one that connotes automotive passion and long-standing heritage. Exuding flamboyance, the Giulietta is more than just a pretty face, for it backs its good looks with a turbocharged 1.8-liter engine that whips out an impressive 240 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque.
Engine: 1.8-liter / 4-cylinder
Power: 240 HP / 350 Nm
Top Speed: 218 Km/h
Price: AED 118,300
In constant battle with Audi’s RS3, the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is the fastest and most powerful hatchback in the world. Combining luxury and outright performance (with a greater focus on the latter) the hot hatch from Affalterbach is what all hatchbacks should aspire to be. Oh, and that sonorous exhaust note that can be heard from kilometers away, is just the icing on top!
Engine: 2.0-liter / 4-cylinder
Power: 360 HP / 450 Nm
Top Speed: 250 Km/h
Price: AED 215,000
A limited-edition model produced to mark the 40th anniversary of the legendary GTI, the Clubsport is restricted to 400-units globally and best described as the greatest hits album of the C-segment hatchback. Add Alcantara and a spike in power into the equation, and the Clubsport has effectively made the best even better.
Engine: 2.0-liter / 4-cylinder
Power: 265 HP / 350 Nm
Top Speed: 250 Km/h
Price: AED 149,000
