What is a "hot hatch"?
A hot hatch is a high-performance version of a hatchback car, known for its sporty design and powerful engine, making it more exciting to drive than regular hatchbacks. These cars typically have compact sizes, quick acceleration, and agile handling, making them popular among driving enthusiasts who want both practicality and performance. Hot hatches often include features like sportier suspension, stronger brakes, and more powerful engines, while still offering the versatility of a hatchback with a rear door for easy access to the car's interior or cargo space.
