most affordable hot hatches

In recent years, we’ve seen a huge demand for hot hatches and at Dynamo, we have been providing GAP insurance for many of these cars. This is primarily because there are often a great variety of PCP deals and owners want to ensure they aren’t left out of pocket.

What Is A Hot Hatch?

If you aren’t familiar with the term “Hot Hatch”, below is a brief description and history behind the term.

A “Hot Hatch” is a type of small, sporty car that combines the practicality of a hatchback with the performance of a sports car. The term was first used to describe the Volkswagen Golf GTI in the 1970s and has since been applied to similar models from other manufacturers.

Hot hatches are typically powered by a turbocharged engine and have a high power-to-weight ratio, which allows them to accelerate quickly and handle well on winding roads. They also often have sport-tuned suspension, larger brakes and a more aggressive exterior styling than their standard hatchback counterparts.

They are typically popular among driving enthusiasts who want a fun, affordable car that can be used for daily driving.
