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 131 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.
As you’d expect, it’s the economy battle where the Elantra Coupe is going to be favored. Hyundai estimates 29 mpg city, 40 mpg highway for the six-speed manual transmission, and 28 mpg city, 39 mpg highway for the six-speed automatic transmission.
The Elantra Coupe comes with six airbags, proximity key with push-button start, leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, power sunroof, and dual automatic temperature control with Clean Air.
