The Fiat Tipo is a family car that offers space, practicality and value for money. It was developed with functionality in mind, focusing on comfort and practicality rather than sportiness or luxury. The suspension setup prioritizes comfort, making the car ideal for highway driving. The cabin is well laid out with logically placed controls and physical buttons for most functions, which improves ergonomics.

Toyota calls the Corolla’s new look more athletic, and we definitely won’t argue with that. The automaker points to ‘Iconic Dynamism’ as the core concept, and that might be the stretch as we see bits and pieces from other current All Equipments small-car models in the Corolla’s design to call it iconic. In any case, it’s geared this time for the Gen Y demographic—people who are just settling down to have kids, or looking for a basic sedan for a growing family. Proportions are a big part of what makes the new Corolla’s design successful.

Nissan’s return to the Focus-sized family hatchback segment in 2018 saw this Pulsar model offer a range of sensible virtues to take on the established class leaders. You don’t get the fashionable flair here the brand reserves for its trendy crossover models, but buyers are treated to much of the hi-tech cleverness and engineering that makes those cars so good, all wrapped up in a package offering value and practicality that’s difficult to beat.

With a dashboard that is nearly identical to the Sunny, and the same unappealing circular door handles and circular A/C vents, it makes you question why the Micra isn’t simply referred to as the Sunny hatchback. In the rear, legroom is quite shabby, but the impressive amounts of headroom make up for it.

The Hyundai i-20 is a small hatchback car that focuses on being sensible rather than overtly stylish. While a Peugeot looks great and a Ford Fiesta feels fun to drive, the i20 isn’t a car for your senses – it’s a car for your head if not your heart.

The Picanto is a terrific small car with the manners and handling of a bigger one. The whole family was quite taken with the Picanto, our opinion only growing more positive as the week progressed. With a better engine (and one is coming), the Picanto’s almost 50 per cent segment share would only grow, because sometimes, in the micro-car world, quality wins.

Hyundai i-10 a decent little car, with the emphasis on little. Is ideally designed for shunting around town, ducking into tight spaces and generally being an exemplary little urban run-around
