Best hot hatches 2021

1. Toyota GR Yaris

2. Honda Civic Type R

3. Mercedes AMG A45

4. Audi RS3 Sportback
The Audi RS3 isn’t just faster and easier to live with than most high-performance hot hatches, it also has one of the classiest interiors around too. Don’t expect all this to come cheap, mind you.

5. Hyundai i30 N

6. BMW M135i

7. Ford Focus ST
The Ford Focus ST is the quickest hot hatch Ford sells and it’s one of the most practical fast family cars around. Some less roomy alternatives are a little quicker, however.

8. Volkswagen Polo GTI
The Volkswagen Polo GTI is impressively quick yet is comfy for a small hot hatch. It’s quite posh inside but it doesn’t look very exciting and alternatives are more fun to drive.

9. Ford Fiesta ST
The Ford Fiesta is superb fun to drive and comes with a decent amount of kit as standard. Other hot hatches look more distinctive and are more practical, however.

10. Suzuki Swift Sport
The Suzuki Swift Sport is slightly cheaper than most other hot hatches, if not quite as fast. It’s a lot of fun to drive and you get plenty of standard equipment, but it does feel a bit cheap inside and the the boot is a bit small.

11. Skoda Octavia vRS
The Skoda Octavia vRS blends the standard Octavia’s practical, well-built interior with a powerful engine and sportier driving characteristics. That said, other hot hatches are more exciting.
