Top 3 Hatchbacks in the UAE
Posted by Abhik Ahuja on Dec 14, 2017
The hatchback, with early versions being traced back to as early as the 1930s, is a car body configuration that features a rear door that opens upward to access a cargo area. Some hatchbacks have a fold-down second-row seating that allows its owners to reconfigure the interiors to prioritize passenger over cargo volume. Hatchbacks can come either as a three-door or five-door car (two or four entry doors and a hatch).
Hatchbacks are both trendy and practical, being marketed as both small family cars, executive cars, and even sports cars. Below is a list of the top 3 hatchbacks which you can get for less than AED 150,000.
A beautiful car at 4.29 meters long, 1.78 meters wide, and 1.43 meters high, the A-Class is one that is sure to make heads turn. It’s not all looks though, with an economical 4-cylinder engine and 2.0-liter capacity, this hatchback can provide 211 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, allowing it to reach 100km/h in under 7 seconds, with maximum speed of 240km/h. At AED 148,000, it’s a car that will make its owners proud.
Also, quite the looker is the Hyundai Veloster. Boasting of a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with 128 horsepower and 157 Nm, its 6-speed automatic transmission sends power to this Korean hatchback in about 10 seconds with a 190 km/h top speed. Though quite a budget-friendly option at AED 70,900, the Veloster offers cruise control, a sunroof, and a reverse parking camera among others.
A pretty and practical car, the Ford Focus can carry 5 adults in its sweet interior. It has a 2.0-liter petrol engine which produces 158 hp and 202 Nm of torque. Also with a 6-speed auto box, the Focus powers up to 100 km/h in about 9 seconds, with top speed at 205 km/h. Priced at just AED 95,000, the Focus will surely put its owners in the spotlight without breaking the bank.
Given the different price points of the cars presented here, the top hatchback under AED 150,000 is none other than the Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2017. Packed with superior features, power, and style, the A-Class is quite the investment at its price.
