Compact dimensions, agility, practicality and economic: are there, on the car market, cars with these characteristics in the contemporary era? Yes, even if few. Much less than before, let’s say. Because the gain margins for segment A cars, once called superiutilitarian, are restored and then many houses, in recent years, have virated on the small cars or on small crossover. There are those who, however, still believe in cars that do not exceed 380 cm in length, such as Hyundai and Kia, which propose – on the same platform – respectively i10 And Picanto. And then, being in the era of the transition to electric, some houses have experienced ultra -compact cars on battery. This is the case of Dacia with the Springby Fiat with the 500E (which will be accompanied by anteria with micro-hybrid technology) or, again, of DR with the 1.0 and lepmotor with the T03. Excluding sports variants such as the Abarth 500E, in the current market offer remain to mention the Panda (which, for the present/future, has already been joined by the great Panda), the Suzuki Ignis and the Toyota Aygo X which is also coming in a hybrid version. From this selection there are several models that slightly exceed 3.8 meters in length such as the Hyundai Inster or the largest byd Dolphin Surf as well as the timeless three -door mini.
