There’s a new generation of sub-subcompact cars on the marketplace today, with each one showing that smaller dimensions don’t necessarily require smaller expectations. Instead, the 10 Great Very Small Cars for 2015 serve up many of the same amenities as the bigger entries, it’s just that they do so with—generally speaking—lower starting prices, higher fuel-economy ratings and nimbler driving dynamics than many of their bigger rivals.
Further, showing the wide range of choices available, our list showcases entries from mainstream and luxury brands, with sophisticated powertrains (including all-electric and hybrid setups) and some of the industry’s hottest technologies (like 4G LTE connectivity with mobile wi-fi service).
What they all have in common, however, is that they are noticeably shorter in length than the traditional subcompacts, which are usually right around 160 inches long in their hatchback configurations and about 170 inches with sedan body styles.
