With sales of over 2.7 million cars in the financial year ending ’16, India is considered to be one of the fastest growing automobile markets across the globe. And while figures show a consistent growth in the luxury car market too, a good chunk of the overall sales continues to be from the hatchback segment. In a country as crowded and populated as ours, hatchbacks make for an extremely sensible purchase. They are just apt for a nuclear family, return good efficiency, have a boot large enough for a weekend drive, are easy to park in tight spots and, most importantly, are pretty affordable too.
