With the shortage of semi-conductor chips globally, several carmakers are deleting some features from their cars. And not only that, all carmakers have a backlog of orders and that amounts to the huge waiting period for popular cars. In this article, we will be sharing the list of 5 hatchbacks that have the highest waiting period. Let's have a look!
