Segment: Coupe

In 2004, Hyundai introduced a facelifted version for its Coupe/Tiburon model and offered it with more powerful engines, and removed the 1.6-liter version.
By 2004, the Coupe was one of the last budget-coupe vehicles on the market after the Ford Probe and the Toyota Celica's dismissal. The Korean carmaker noticed that and tried to make its car more attractive to the customers and improved the car's handling and powertrains.
There was a consistent change in the car's front design. Its smoked headlights and the trapezoidal grille in the lower bumper area showed an aggressive styling. The fog-lights were moved on individual pods on the outer sides of the apron. Behind the front wheels, the carmaker changed the vents' look with two horizontal slats instead of three vertical ones. Hyundai didn't stop there and changed the tailgates, introducing larger reversing lights. Depending on the engine option, the car featured a small wing on the trunk.
Inside, the carmaker introduced an upgraded design for the center stack, with digital controls for the climate-control unit. As part of its sporty-oriented vehicle, Hyundai kept the three gauges above the audio system. Its high-bolstered seats were appreciated even from the 2001 model, and they were kept. Like before, though, the rear seats were good only for leg-less dwarfs.
Under the hood, Hyundai dropped the 1.6-liter engine and offered the 2.0-liter version as the base level. Its top performer remained the 2.7-liter V-6 unit that provided 167 hp.
