HatchBACK cars are loved in Mzansi.
And luckily, many of them are fairly affordable in the local market.
But which ones boast the best resale value?
According to Darryl Jacobson, managing director of True Price, one hatch is the clear leader, the Toyota Etios.
The True Price team attends hundreds of bank repossession auctions each year to gather data on car prices.
This information is used to give Mzansi motorists free car evaluations. It also provides accurate resale values.
Using this method, the top six hatches are listed below.
1. Toyota Etios (71,89%)
The Etios provides affordable, reliable and practical motoring.
2. Volkswagen Polo (70,55%)
The Polo is a refined package, offering great ride quality, comfortable and spacious interior and awesome road manners.
3. VW Polo Vivo (69,79%)
Mzansi’s best-selling passenger vehicle, the Polo Vivo, has an appealing price-tag, is well-spec’d and comes with the VW quality stamp of approval.
4. Hyundai Grand i10 (67,52%)
This stylish and refined hatch has great build quality.
5. Mazda2 (66,78%)
The Mazda2 was upgraded in April 2017 and its resale value is undoubtedly bolstered by its good looks.
6. Ford Fiesta (65.98%)
The all-new Ford Fiesta has a contemporary new design, revolutionary interior and fun-to-drive character.
