The UAE boasts one of the most expansive and inclusive car markets in the world. Generally, buyers in the UAE prefer SUVs and sedans, and the overall demand for premium cars is touching greater heights with every passing day. However, there is some demand for small hatchbacks as well.
Hatchbacks are lovely little cars that offer practicality, great driveability, and ease of use that other car segments can only dream of. Some hatchbacks only offer a no-nonsense, low-maintenance drive while others offer high performance combined with a practical nature. Thankfully, both types of hatchbacks are available in the UAE market for you to purchase.
Here is our list of the Top 10 Hatchbacks To Buy In The UAE:
10. Suzuki Alto
The Suzuki Alto is the smallest and least expensive hatchback on this list. It doesn’t really have a lot to boast about when it comes to the features on offer. You do get a basic music system with Bluetooth, a basic air-conditioning system, and fabric seats. However, you do get a robust drivetrain system.
The Suzuki Alto is powered by a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder engine paired with either a manual or an automatic gearbox. Lower variants are also available and these come with a puny 800cc, three-cylinder engine that produces just enough power to cross the 120km/h mark, therefore making it usable on UAE highways.
With prices starting at around AED 21,000, it is one of the least expensive cars on sale in the UAE market. Check out new Suzuki Alto cars for sale in the UAE.
9. Renault Clio
The Renault Clio isn’t the most popular hatchback in the UAE. However, it is one of the most versatile hatchbacks and is dearly loved, especially in European countries. It comes with a decent list of features that aren’t really over the top.
However, what sets it apart from every other hatchback on this list is that it was one of the only two production hatchbacks to be fitted with a V6 engine. Yes, you read it right. The Renault Clio V6 has become a hot favourite for enthusiasts as the 3.0-litre V6 with 255bhp is capable of propelling the little hatchback from 0-100km/h in under 5.5 seconds. That is supercar territory!
If that is a little too much for you, the standard four-cylinder variant is also available in the UAE. Though the numbers are few, you can find both new Renault Clio cars for sale in the UAE and used Renault Clio cars for sale in the UAE.
8. Suzuki Baleno
The Suzuki Baleno is a mid-level hatchback from Suzuki and it does come with a bootload of features that one would otherwise expect to find in cars that cost more than this and this includes a head-up display. It also offers premium design and styling.
The Suzuki Baleno is powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine that puts out 103.25bhp and 38Nm. While these figures aren’t stellar, they aren’t entry-level either.
