Although the term 'hatchback' can refer to a wide boot opening, which you get in virtually any used BMW estate or used BMW SUV, in this case, we’re talking about the compact hatchback body style.
BMW doesn’t have many hatchbacks, but the ones it does sell - the 1 Series and the 4 Series Gran Coupe - are especially fun to drive. The 1 Series is the smallest and most affordable, while the 4 Series Gran Coupe offers a more premium and stylish hatchback experience.
There are petrol, diesel and even electric versions to pick from.
BMW’s only hatchback that remains on sale is the 1 Series – it’s a mid-sized family car that goes up against other class leaders like the Mercedes A-Class, Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf.
You can also pick up a used BMW i3 if you want something efficient and nippy, but that’s no longer available new.
> BMW i3
One of the first things you’ll notice when driving a BMW hatchback is the responsive throttle and precise handling, which make you feel like you’re driving a sports car.
Some used BMW hatchbacks are even fitted with rear-wheel drive to make them more fun, while others are made with all-wheel drive for added grip.
If you like performance, consider hot hatches like the BMW M135, BMW M135i, BMW M140i, BMW 128ti and BMW i3 S.
Yes, BMW hatchbacks are inherently practical, thanks to their large boot openings. The 1 Series has just as much boot space as its key rivals, even though power is sometimes sent to the rear wheels (which could affect boot space in other makes).
Be aware that some mild hybrid models lose a few litres, but you’ll hardly notice this in your day-to-day driving.
A BMW i3 does have less space, but it’s an ultra-compact hatchback that prides itself on quirky styling, including rear-hinged rear doors and seating for four.
BMW hatchbacks are great for anyone who wants a premium, sporty driving experience, and they can also be relatively affordable.
They offer a balance of performance, comfort, practicality and luxury, making them excellent picks for young professionals who want to make an impression.
Technically, the BMW 1 Series and BMW i4 are hatchbacks. But many of BMW's estate models, like the 3 Series and 5 Series, also have wide boots, as do any BMW X-branded SUVs.
Yes, BMW stopped selling the i3 in 2022 to focus on bringing out new electric models like the iX1 and iX2.
The BMW 1 Series isn’t just one of the best BMW hatchbacks, it’s one of the best hatchbacks full stop.
BMW’s smallest hatchback is the 1 Series – there’s no supermini to rival the Audi A1 or Volkswagen Polo.
BMW’s cheapest car is the 1 Series hatchback.
