Modern models from this car category have increased significantly in size and interior space due to the tougher competition challenges - design, cost, fuel efficiency, safety, durability, maximizing interior space. Some of them are ready to be classified in the next "Compact" category. Good examples are the recent generations of Opel Corsa vs Astra Hatchback and Renault Clio vs Megane Hatchback.

Most of them have a roomy seating for four passengers and can carry a reasonable amount of luggage, but do not cost much more to operate than entry-level subcompacts. Their long life, fuel efficiency and stylish design have established them as preferred models for many car rental companies. All this makes them a terrific car hire option for travellers in Bulgaria.
