First official teaser of the City Hatchback puts the Toyota Yaris on red alert
 

Six things we learnt about Mazda’s recently refreshed hatchback offering

Kia’s Fiesta rival employs new tech to keep stick and pedals alive a little longer

Merc squeezes in a battery pack for 0-100 in 6.6secs and 40 emissions-free miles.

"While VW and Audi have cheaped-out in their new-gen Polo and A1, Peugeot has rich materials and a striking design."

Mazda2 name replaces Japan-market Demio. Mazda’s compact hatchback now even gets Lane-Keep Assist and radar cruise control.

"The ride. It’s really quite firm and busy. Probably too much so for a car of this performance."

Something needs to fight the dominance of SUVs. The Yaris is gloves on.

This odd bunch proves you don’t need a hatchback body to channel the hot hatch spirit.

Taking on a fresh approach, Merc’s all-new offering is now one stellar act.
