The sub-compact hatchback segment may be shrinking in favour of B-segment crossovers and SUVs, but the few manufacturers that still have one in their lineup do these vehicles very well.

By the numbers

Hyundai's service plan provides specified scheduled services for your vehicle. The service plan runs for a period of 4 years or 60 000 km, whichever happens first. The customer is required to bring the vehicle for its specified service at the required intervals as specified in the owner's manual: every 15 000 km or once a year.
