When coupe is mentioned, one automatically thinks of a generally two-door well looking car. Well, are you prepared to hear this? A new four- door, yes, you heard right, four-door coupe emerged on the market in 2013 and its name is Hyundai Elantra Coupe. When you see it, it`s love on first sight. It`s gorgeous! Next, we will introduce you to all other details of the car so that you do not regret having decided to buy it by only seeing its external appearance.
The Story of Elantra Coupe!
Let`s make it clear. There are two models of Elantra which are exactly the same; the only difference being that one model has two doors and the other four. Oh, yes, and the coupe is a bit larger (3.5 cm).
The Best Aerodynamics in the Class!
2012 Elantra was designed at Hyundai North American Center in Irvine, California, U.S.
“Fluidic Design” are Hyundai`s design principles based on nature. The Hyundai Elantra Coupe design considers the movement of the wind and creates an illusion of constant movement. Actually, Elantra`s design is advanced evolution of the Sonata`s lowing lines design with an obvious undercut feature line with a start at the front door.
All these flowing lines and sleek roof-line are creating the best coefficient of drag in its class, only 0.28. (For example Chevrolet Volt has 0.29).
Spacious and Comfortable Interior!
If you sit in the front, this refers to Elantra coupe; you get With 95.4 cu. ft.passengers space and a car heavier than Elantra sedan. The back seat passengers get the same headroom, knee-room enlarged by 0.50 centimeters and sitting space enlarged by 1.01 centimeters. Even if you buy the basic model you will have well equipped Elantra coupe.
The standard equipment includes USB input jacks, fog lights, complete audio system, iPod ports, Bluetooth connection, 16″ alloy wheels, climate control and distance keyless entry. Furthermore, you can get even more equipped model in the next trim level including 17″ alloy wheels, sunroof, leather interior, aluminum pedals and more.
If you agree to have automatic transmission then you can consider the technology package that includes 360 watt audio system, side camera, navigation system and automatic headlights.
Top Active and Passive Safety?

What about the Performance and Fuel Efficiency?
Here you have the facts! Great information is there is powerful and efficient engine as standard, 1.8-liter 4-cylinder with 148 hp at 6,500 rpm. In times when fuel is quite expensive Elantra coupe is here to help you save some money. These are the figures:
-- manual transmission – 29 mpg in city and 40 on highway
-- automatic transmission -- 28 mpg in city and 39 on highway
As far as coziness is concerned, Elantra coupe is the car you are looking for. Unlike Elantra sedan, Elantra coupe has smooth external design; it is comfortable and keeps it quiet at all speeds. However, when speeding is in questions then the sedan wins over the coupe.
