Every Hot Hatchback You Can Still Buy In 2024

Everyone laments the death of sedans, but where have all the hatchbacks gone? Specifically the hot ones. Hot hatchbacks have been a staple since the late 1970s and grew into fan favorites among enthusiasts wanting affordable affordable fun with space to spare. But with more Americans favoring compact and subcompact SUVs, the traditional five-door is endangered.

Don't worry, there are survivors. Companies like Honda, Toyota, and Volkswagen keep the dream alive with new iterations of their most beloved models. Icons like the Civic Type R and Golf GTI stick around for 2024 and (hopefully) well beyond, while a new crop of electrified hatchbacks helps bolster the market.

Hopefully there will be more hot hatchbacks down the line. For now, here are all the ones you can still buy new in 2024 in the US.

The Integra Type S is more of a liftback than a traditional five-door (that's why we also included it on our list of every sedan for 2024). But by definition, it is a hatchback—and a very hot one at that. The Type S has a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine making 320 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, paired to a six-speed manual transmission. And it's a real performer—which you can read about in our review. It takes just 5.2 seconds for it to hit 60 mph and the top speed is 167. If you want one it will cost you $51,995.

Price: $45,890
315 Horsepower

The Honda Civic Hatchback and Integra share a liftback shape and a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. The Civic Type R makes 315 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque by comparison, paired to a six-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. The Type R is more affordable than the Integra, though, at $45,890. But it's well worth the money.

250 Horsepower

Mazda once had a version of the 3 called the Speed3 that was a genuine hot hatchback. These days, the Mazdaspeed moniker is no more—but you can still get a Mazda3 Turbo with up to 250 horsepower. The turbocharged 2.5-liter engine delivers more torque than the Civic Type R with 320 pound-feet, which is enough for a 0-60 mph time of 6.0 seconds. A few suspension tweaks could put the Mazda3 Turbo over the top.
