HYUNDAI Elantra Coupe 2012 - Present

HYUNDAI Elantra Coupe (2012 - Present) Description & History: Hyundai has finally revealed the new Elantra Coupe at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, based on the car that won the 2012 North American Car of the Year award just recently. And from the looks of things, the Honda Civic Coupe’s days are numbered. Power for this budget coupe comes from the same 1.8-linter Nu generation of four-cylinder engine that develops 148 horsepower and 128 lb-ft or torque. This is more than the Civic but less than the Kia Forte Koup, which has a 2.0-liter. The engine is available with either a six-speed manual or automatic.
