What Is a Hot Hatch and Who Loves to Drive One?

When car fans talk about hot hatches, they’re referring to performance-tuned versions of hatchback cars. The idea behind a hot hatch is simple—take a practical, everyday hatchback and give it added power, sharper suspension tuning, better brakes, and sporty styling.

What you end up with is a car that balances everyday usability (cargo flexibility, compact footprint, good visibility) with engaging driving dynamics and a spirited performance. Hot hatches appeal to driving enthusiasts who want a car that does it all—it’s fun when pushed, but still practical for commuting and everyday use.

New exterior features on the Volkswagen Golf GTI include restyled headlights, a refreshed bumper design, an illuminated VW badge, and two new paint colors.

Volkswagen’s IQ.Drive system is now available on all trim levels, and includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane-Keeping Assist, and Emergency Assist—which brings the vehicle to a stop and turns on the hazard lights if the driver is unable to do so.
