Overview of the global automotive performance hatchback market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global automotive performance hatchback market will witness the sales of almost 956 thousand units by 2021. The development of advanced technologies in the standard vehicle category is identified as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The engine power and torque capacity in standard models have increased twice the amount compared to the older models. The average power of all models in the standard category now ranges from 100 hp to 150 hp. The technology available in the base vehicles is being upgraded to more advanced options in terms of engine refinement, engine power, engine torque, and transmission. This shifting trend of technology from luxury, premium, and performance segments to the standard volume vehicles depends on the cost of application and the technology optimization requirements. Engine technology has undergone many advancements, which allow it to be modified for higher performance and efficiency with a moderate percentage of vehicle cost. One of the best examples is the Ford Focus SE with 2.0L TI-VCT engine producing 160 hp for a normal hatch, whereas the same engine with booster option in Focus ST comes with an eco-boost advancement and delivers 250 hp of power.

The adoption of high-performance sports-ready technologies in performance hatchback models is one of the latest trends that will contribute to the growth of this market in the forthcoming years. Technologies such as booster jet, forced fuel injection, lightweight moving engine components chassis load transfer path technology, traction control, and dynamic suspension are present in the high-performance hatchback cars.
