Initially, under the name of the coupe, they produced two-door cars with a closed body for 3-4 seats... But gradually the Coupe became, rather, a marketing designation, the task of which is to emphasize the sportiness, charge of the car. Very often, companies release coupe versions based on popular models. Therefore, little remains of the primordial concept. But some brands stubbornly continue to create cars that fully correspond to the historical significance of this class.

Class leaders

There are a lot of auto coupe models, which complicates the choice a little. But our list was created based on the maximum correspondence of the car to its name and relation to the Coupe class. Therefore, we did not include here BMWs of different series with Coupe prefixes, cars from Mercedes, Audi and other brands with the corresponding names.

Our top includes the following brands:

  • Mazda;
  • Hyundai;
  • Nissan;
  • Subaru;
  • Toyota;
  • Chevrolet;
  • Ford;
  • Porsche.

In really good car the coupe class must combine such criteria as visual appeal, speed, dynamism with simultaneous reliability and safety.

We invite you to find out which coupes we consider the best in their class. Any car shown can end up in your garage. Each of them is incredibly beautiful, but this is only one of the many advantages of machines.

370Z

The car from Nissan, which replaced the legendary 350Z. Many were skeptical about the change in names and generations, but in fact the 370Z turned out to be a worthy successor to the coupe with such wild popularity.

The car is incredibly beautiful. This is a sports car in the back of a coupe with a fighting character, which was achieved due to excellent technical characteristics. Under the hood, the Japanese coupe has a 3.7-liter engine with 332 horsepower. It takes only 5 seconds for the car to accelerate from standstill to 100 kilometers per hour.

Genesis coupe

This is a very interesting coupe from Korea from Hyundai. The car has existed since 2009 and continues to delight buyers with a charming appearance, excellent technical characteristics and modern interior equipment.

There is a choice of a pair of turbocharged engines of 2.0 and 3.8 liters. The most powerful version produces 416 Horse power.

The parameters allow Genesis to be on par with true sports cars. At the same time, Hyundai tried to make the car versatile. Therefore, it is comfortable to ride on it not only on highways at prohibitive speeds, but also in city conditions, it is easy to maneuver through traffic jams and behave well at low revs.

MX5

The legendary car is very compact in size. This coupe has a charming appearance and at the same time makes it clear that impressive technical characteristics are hidden under the hood.

Brainchild Mazda great for the city, but can compete on the highway. With a low weight of the car, its 160 horsepower shows maximum capabilities.

This is not a racing car, but a worthy option for those looking for a spirited coupe with good looks, high level of safety and modern equipment. The new generation has become a worthy continuation of the legendary predecessor.

BRZ

Under this name, Subaru presented its coupe. This is a joint product with Toyota, an analogue of which also made it to our top.

BRZ was created with an eye to the Asian and European markets. Such a coupe attracts with its appearance, impressive technical characteristics and modern filling.

A 2.0-liter engine is installed on the car, which produces 200 horsepower. Not the most impressive characteristics, but the car will not consume dozens in city conditions. And on the track, the coupe will compete with other cars.

Z4

Another legend. This time from the German carmaker BMW. This is the company's first coupe-class car, but an incredibly successful attempt to conquer new positions.

The car has gone through a generational change and a number of modifications. There are few such cars on Russian roads, which makes them more attractive and exclusive.

The most popular is the version with a 3-liter turbocharged engine, which produces 340 horsepower. A worthy representative of the coupe class.

Boxter

Creation of the German company Porsche, which is one of the best manufacturers of coupe cars. The assortment of the company is impressive, but we decided to stick with the Boxter model.

This is not the most expensive representative of the line, but with a rich history, great looks and excellent technical characteristics.

In Russia, compact coupes from Porsche are not as popular as in the West and in the USA, but true connoisseurs of a coupe body will worthily appreciate this car. Especially if you take the version with a 3.4 liter engine and 310 horsepower. The car accelerates from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 5.2 seconds.

TT

Few people do not know about a car like the Audi TT. One of the most popular representatives of the coupe class, which has sold thousands of copies around the world since its inception.

Recently, the world saw the third generation of TT, which was presented in Paris in March this year. Engine options will expand over time, but for now, the new generation coupe comes with a 2.0-liter turbo engine with 220 horsepower.

If there is no money to buy new version, the aftermarket offers a huge selection of used first and second generation TTs.

GT 86

This is actually a BRZ clone from Toyota, because the car was developed jointly. The audience is more attracted to Toyota. What this is connected with is difficult to say.

The GT 86 is a fairly dynamic coupe with modern fittings and a very attractive appearance. At the same time, the car is not so expensive and feels great in city conditions and tight traffic jams.

In Russia, the model is in great demand for secondary market... It is not surprising, because you can find an excellent copy of the 2010-2013 sample for literally 1-1.2 million rubles.

If anyone can impose the struggle for leadership in the sports coupe and muscle car category, it is only the Mustang from Ford.

The new generation deviated somewhat from the Mustang tradition, which caused a storm of indignation. But if you get to know him better, you will understand that this is the right step on the part of Ford.

The Mustang is fast, modern, fuel efficient and just as cocky. You can get a car with just a 2-liter engine, but it feels like there is at least 3.5 liters under the hood. The Mustang has become high-tech, making it the epitome of the modern sports coupe.

It is important to understand that the coupe body has many variations and modifications ... html ”> sports cars. And here it is difficult to find a true leader, because each sub-segment has its own stubborn struggle between competing automakers.

Immediately, we note that the word "inexpensive" means coupes more or less common on Russian roads, with a price still different from the space one! More precisely, cheaper than three million rubles in order to avoid paying the luxury tax.

In addition, buyers often confuse coupes with three-door hatchbacks like Opel. Astra gtc and Renault Megane Coupe. And manufacturers, for marketing and advertising reasons, do not correct this mistake.

In our review, true coupes are presented, that is, two-door sedans. Those in which the boot lid opens without a rear window.

However, while compiling the list, we, unfortunately, did not manage to fully comply with the status quo.

Some models are so skillfully disguised, and in the absence of pragmatism, they are so similar to coupes that we could not but include them in the review, albeit with some reservations.


Cost - from 799,900 rubles

Actually, the most inexpensive coupe Russian market... Therefore, it is not worth asking a lot from the car, especially from the driving characteristics. In fact, this is an ordinary Kia Sid, covered with a less practical, but more showy body, which attracts the car in the first place. One more vote "for" - presence in the database two-liter engine and a good list of included options.

MINI Coupe

Cost - from 888,000 rubles

The smallest "kupeshka" on the Russian market. Mini is another car that does not formally belong to a coupe, being a three-door hatch. And in terms of driver's qualities - in general, cards, and in the best sense of the word! But a very specific appearance with a cut roof at the rear and a strictly two-seater saloon still allows the MINI Coupe to be separated from its more familiar brother.

Cost - from 1,069,000 rubles

A car with an amazing history of serial appearance. The concept shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show was so warmly received by the public that the French decided to put the experimental car into the series practically unchanged. In all senses, a very interesting and driver's car in Europe is sold with a bang, and in Russia it is very bad, despite the initially attractive price. It is not so much the presence of only two versions with a capacity of 160 and 200 horsepower that affects, as the extremely biased attitude of Russians towards French cars. And unfortunately, due to extremely low demand, the charismatic coupe will soon leave the Russian market.

Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86

The cost of Toyota GT86 - from 1,294,000 rubles

There is no point in separating these cars. The BRZ and GT86 are one and the same machine, created by joint Japanese efforts during a period of overall cost savings. But the car is very good. The rear-wheel drive coupe turned out to be truly sporty and gambling. For a sophisticated driver!

Subaru BRZ cost - from 1,436,000 rubles

Coupes are divorced for the market exclusively financially. Subaru, which considers itself a premium brand, only sells BRZ in one top-end version. Toyota has three modifications with two gearboxes. The engine is one for two - a two-liter 200-horsepower "opposed".

Bmw

BMW 2-series cost - from 1,331,000 rubles

According to the new ideology of the brand, BMW brought coupes and convertibles into a separate even series. So the ideological follower of the “kupeshki-kopeck” is now called the BMW 2-series. In fact, the car, unique for the Russian market, is the only rear-wheel drive model in the golf class. Possessing excellent driving qualities and "hooligan" character, the BMW 2-series is offered here in three modifications: with a gasoline or diesel "two-liter" engine with a capacity of 184 horsepower each and in the top-end M235i with 326 horses.

BMW 4-series cost - from 1 750 000 rubles

The "older" BMW 4-series, despite the innate driver's "vein", has already been made with a great regard for comfort. It is still necessary to select clients from the main rivals with a three-pointed star! The range includes the same motors as the "two", except that the most powerful one no longer has the "M" designation.

Cost - from 1,499,000 rubles.

Unfortunately, one more car, "dying out" in our market due to its origin. Russia is not yet ready to buy "French" at a price of one and a half million rubles. Dealers sell the last leftovers. Anyone who still decides to buy will receive a very unconventional outside, stylistically ascetic inside, but in any case, a calm and comfortable car with a single 2-liter gasoline engine 170 "horses".

Cost - from 1,599,000 rubles

The strategic task of Koreans is to fill all existing niches by any means. Hyundai's lineup should have everything, including, of course, a coupe. Genesis is a car for those who need a maximum of ... show-off for the minimum money. Spectacular appearance, powerful 250-horsepower engine, 8-speed "automatic", rear-wheel drive and top of the range. Cool? Cool! Only the average driving characteristics for such a car in the absence of a pretentious logo make buyers look in other directions.

Mercedes-Benz

The cost of a Mercedes-Benz C-coupe - from 1,620,000 rubles

As in BMW, Stuttgardians also honor true tradition and keep the brand, offering the buyer a traditional rear-wheel drive coupe. The most inexpensive of these is the C-coupe. The two-door "shop" has three gasoline engine power from 156 to 306 horsepower and, of course, hyperversion with a motor of 457 "horses" from the AMG studio!

The cost of a Mercedes-Benz E-coupe - from 1,995,000 rubles

Mercedes, of course, also has a larger and more thoroughbred coupe, marked with the letter "E". Oddly enough, the car has an indirect relationship to the E-class sedan, since the model is technically based on the same C-class. What Mercedes does not advertise, and buyers are not particularly interested in it - it says E-class, which means E-class! After all, any Mercedes is good, especially when handsome and strong. Under the hood of the "yeshki-kupeshka" there can be one of four motors with a capacity of 184 to 306 horsepower.

Audi

The cost of the Audi A5 - from 1,630,000 rubles

In the model range of this German manufacturer, there is, in fact, only one classic coupe - the A5 model. The car has attractive forms in the range of four engines and (according to Audi tradition) two sports modifications: S5 and RS5. And the only drawback of the car is its age - the model has been produced for the eighth year (!), Periodically undergoing modernization.

Audi TT cost - from 1,643,000 rubles

Even older is the Audi TT, which we also conditionally classify as a coupe, although in fact the car does not belong to this class. But the TT is really not much different from the coupe in its appearance and driving capabilities. To date, the car has lost the image of an "alien saucer", and behind it, and its former popularity. The range includes four motors with a capacity of 160 to 340 horsepower.

For those who are indifferent to speed and prefer family vacations, one of these is an excellent choice.

Passenger cars are represented by a wide lineup, differing in price, purpose, comfort class and other parameters. The characteristics of the car and the requirements for it leave a serious imprint on the types of bodies. passenger car... The body of the machine determines its appearance and acts as the main supporting structure, therefore, depending on the requirements, the appearance of the part also changes.

In some model lines the main supporting structure is the chassis and frame.

The body is the main detail that determines:

  • appearance;
  • volume (for both passengers and cargo);
  • the number of passengers;
  • aerodynamic performance.

The detail largely determines the further layout, and as a result, the behavior of the car on the road. Therefore, the most common classification passenger cars mobiles by body type.

There are 3 main types of car bodies:

  1. one-volume.
  2. two-volume.
  3. three-volume.

The number of part volumes are isolated blocks.

Three-volume

They are characterized by a separate engine compartment and luggage compartment... The advantage is easy access to parts, which made the design classic. However, it offers little room for modification. Popular types of three-volume models are as follows:

  • convertible, roadster, brogam and targa.

Sedan

Distinctive features of the body structure of a sedan passenger car are a clearly protruding luggage and engine compartment, 4 doors and 2 rows of seats. The roof height of the entire cabin is the same. There is no lift door behind the car. This layout is convenient for transporting passengers, which made it popular. Many manufacturers divide the sedan into subclasses. One of these is the class of the elongated machine (marking L). Typically, elongated parts are found in business class sedans. These include town cars - sedans with an increased roof height.

There are also two-door sedans. A distinctive feature of the car is the presence of two rows of seats, for example - "Zaporozhets".

Coupe

Feature - two elongated doors. Usually the car body is equipped with two seats, but in some cases the rear part is equipped with two additional passenger seats. Unlike the two-door sedan, these seats are awkward and not designed for long journeys. The shape of the roof of the coupe is always sloping, with a backward slope, which improves the aerodynamic characteristics of the car.

Cars of this type belong to the sports class, therefore, they are mainly presented in a high price category. They are equipped with a high power engine, reinforced suspension and low ground clearance for improved driving characteristics. These cars are very graceful, which also adds to their prestige.

Open top car

These cars are especially popular in countries with hot climates. A car without a roof is an original and prestigious solution. These classes also include models with a retractable roof. These types of devices include:

  • landau;
  • phaeton;
  • roadster;
  • brougham.

The convertible body is a classic type of cars without a roof or with a folding device. It is designed on the basis of "Coupe", less often - "Sedan", has a frame structure of this type. Most often, this class of cars is equipped with a soft folding roof.

Phaeton body class is a car with a soft folding roof. The difference from the convertible is the complete absence of a frame structure above the cabin. Due to this, the side door windows in such machines are removable. Phaetons are the most open cars. Classic phaetons are roofless government cars with three rows of seats intended primarily for parades. Currently, roofless versions are not available on an extended wheelbase.

The word "phaeton" in the automotive industry also focuses on the luxury of the car and the increased space inside the car. Thus, the Volkswagen Phaeton, launched in 2002, is a classic sedan in terms of body type.

The roadster body is open, on a shortened base with two doors. Such cars are also distinguished by collapsible side windows or their complete absence, a soft roof. A roofless roadster is called a spider. Historically, roadsters, in addition to the main comfortable seats, were equipped with an additional folding one, popularly called "mother-in-law's place". Modern roadsters are often represented by sports cars, including the Lada Revolution.

A type of roadster equipped with a rigid arch at the back of the seats is called a targa. Cars also have removable side windows and do not have side frame structures, but more often they are equipped with a rigid removable or folding roof.

Pickup

Pickup cars are three-volume. The main feature of the models is an open trunk. They are designed not only for driving, but also for transporting large amounts of goods.

Initially, pickups were distributed in North America among farmers and ordinary people, later spread throughout Europe and around the world. A modern pickup truck is a comfortable car based on an SUV. There are both two-door and four-door cars with a comfortable cab.

The features of pickups are:

  • high power;
  • high cross-country ability;
  • large engine displacement;
  • spacious, comfortable cabin.

Limousine

This type of car is designed for the executive class and has a high level of comfort, the body type is created on the basis of the sedan concept. The design of the limousine is a passenger car on an elongated base with a mandatory partition between the driver and passengers. Equipped with 2 or even 3 rows of seats, 4 doors. It is the rigid partition that distinguishes this class from the elongated sedan.

Classic limousines were created on the basis of a sedan, however, now there are cars based on SUVs. Limousines are quite rare, which makes them even more spectacular.

Two-volume

Bodies of this type are distinguished by a separate, separate engine and passenger compartment. The cargo part of the car is merged into one space with the passenger. This allows for an increase in the cargo area or interior without increasing the length of the wheelbase. Finding the passenger and cargo parts of the car in the same space gives the car designers more room to maneuver. Popular types of two-volume models include:

  • hatchback;
  • crossover;

Station wagon

The station wagon is a utility vehicle. This type of car got its name from its multipurpose use. Combi cars have 3 or 5 doors, 2 rows of seats with a large volume. In most models, the rear seats fold down, increasing the trunk to an enormous size. At the beginning of the new century, station wagons are the market leaders, overtaking sedans in sales.

One of the subtypes of the station wagon is the shooting break body. These are two-door premium cars with a straight roof, developed on the basis of sports cars.

Hatchback

The hatchback body type resembles a station wagon, but has a sloping roof. These cars are often called fastbacks. Hatchbacks are often designed as light vehicles with a large boot. They are great for urban conditions, they do an excellent job of transporting passengers and goods. They are made in the form of three- or five-door cars. Examples of domestic hatchbacks are VAZ-2108 and VAZ-2109.

Liftback

The liftback body is the middle option between a hatchback and a sedan. In appearance, the body resembles a sedan or coupe, but structurally more similar to a hatchback. The trunk of such a car opens with a hatch, leans back with rear window... Between the trunk and rear seats soft partitions are installed. If necessary, they are removed, after which the machine is ready for transportation of oversized cargo.

SUV

Cars of this class are similar to station wagons, but have a large size and high ground clearance. A distinctive feature is a powerful frame that makes the body more durable. These cars are designed for off-road driving, therefore, they have a high cross-country ability. Almost all of them have a powerful engine and four-wheel drive, sometimes with a differential lock. There are SUVs among the people, and sometimes other cars similar in external characteristics are called jeeps.

Car makers off-road came to the conclusion that reducing the weight of the car can increase its running characteristics. This is how an SUV without a body - a buggy - appeared.

Crossover

This body style is quite similar to an SUV, but significantly lighter. Cars of this class are a hybrid between a station wagon and an SUV: a variant of a city car adapted for off-road driving. It also has a high ground clearance, but does not have frames and locks. It differs from an SUV in a higher comfort class, while the cross-country ability is an order of magnitude lower.

A variety of crossovers is the SUV class. It is an enlarged station wagon with a high seating position, high ground clearance and high ground clearance. These types have a simplified four-wheel drive. SUV (like most crossovers) is a hybrid of a station wagon and an SUV.

Van

This body is fully adapted for the carriage of goods. Vans are a transitional option between cars and trucks. Equipped with an extensive high cargo area with a large back door, no windows. In some cases, they are performed as a deep modernization of the body of a passenger car ("Moskvich" -412 "pie"), but more often as a separate structure. Some modern vans are single-volume vehicles. Some of them have a specific purpose, for example, accommodate special devices, medical equipment, or a refrigerator.

One-volume

Body of this type have no protruding parts and represent an all-metal construction. The engine and luggage compartments are merged with the car interior into one unit. Most buses belong to this class. Among passenger cars, they are represented by the youngest classes:

  • compact MPV.

Minivan

The minivan body is a single-volume structure with a length of at least 4.5 meters. This car combines the comfort of a station wagon and the capacity of a van. The large volume allows for a third row of seats and makes them ideal for family cars. By the type of body, the minivan resembles a minibus with the difference that it can accommodate no more than 8 seats.

Compact MPV

The compact van is a smaller version of the minivan. Often accommodates 3 rows of seats. At the same time, it differs in a smaller interior and trunk volume, but it wins in maneuverability.

Microvan

This variety is often referred to as a hatchback. For the most part, the characteristics of the cars are similar to the one-volume cars of this class. A distinctive feature is the large height of the passenger section, which provides comfort for those in the cabin, which is especially pleasant on long journeys.

Trucks

Body type truck there are two-volume (KAMAZ) or three-volume (KRAZ). However, this is not a defining feature. The main gradation of the bodies is the type of the cargo compartment. They are divided into:

  • onboard;
  • dump trucks;
  • scows;
  • awning;
  • cisterns;
  • platforms;
  • bodies for special purposes.

The lines between vehicle classes are gradually blurring. More and more machine models appear on the market that combine the characteristics of certain classes. This makes it possible to create versatile cars that meet the needs of drivers and passengers.

Let's be honest, two-door cars look a lot better than sedans. Many would agree with this, but would also add that cars are coupes and cost a lot more than sedans. There is some truth in this, but in order to become the owner of a stylish coupe, you do not have to rob a bank, since even in this segment there are inexpensive models that even a middle manager will be able to afford.

We have a list of the 10 most affordable and affordable two-door cars with a starting price of just under $ 26K. We had to draw a strict line and exclude hatchback cars such as the Scion tC or.

The BRZ is lightweight, making it equally powerful on the road as well as on the track. Thanks to its rear wheel drive The BRZ is a perfectly balanced car, although who can argue that it also has a very attractive appearance? The base BRZ is good enough but doesn't offer much of what its sister model FR-S has to offer.

This is another reason besides cost that makes Scion more attractive to potential buyers.

eight . NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE. PRICE $ 25 230

The next inexpensive coupe is the Nissan Altima, which many have forgotten, and in vain, Nissan still sells this car. It costs a little less than the Scion, and for $ 25,230 the buyer gets a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 175 horsepower. Thanks to Nissan system The Xtronic CVT, Altima is a fairly economical car in terms of fuel, and invests in 10 liters per 100 kilometers when driving in the city and 7.3 liters per 100 kilometers when driving on the highway. Not bad for a car in desperate need of an upgrade. Rumor has it that Nissan will discontinue production of the Altima Coupe, which is not surprising given the model's low sales.

7. HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE 2.0 T. PRICE $ 24 250

Those looking for a rear-wheel drive vehicle that delivers the same driving pleasure as the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, those looking for more power from a car for less money, take a closer look at the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Not only is this car cheaper than the Scion FR-S, but it also has 74 more horsepower than its rival. The base Genesis coupe lacks a limited slip differential, which means this car loses out in handling compared to the Toyobaru twins, but in a straight line, the Genesis can do a great job.

6. HONDA ACCORD LX-S. PRICE $ 23 350

Yes, it really is, for $ 23,350 you can become the owner of a coupe with efficient fuel consumption... The name of this car is Honda Accord Coupe.

The last muscle car in our top 10 is a V-6-powered Ford Mustang that sends 305 ponies to rear axle... If you can come to terms with the lack of an independent rear suspension The Mustang is a surprisingly attractive vehicle that also delivers superb quality for just $ 22,000. While other Mustangs are powered by V-8 or turbocharged engines, this car's engine will make you feel the pleasure of driving the iconic American vehicle that will not hit your pocket.

3. HONDA CIVIC LX. PRICE $ 17,965

While our list contains quite a few RWD exciting muscle cars and sports cars, our last three coupes are nowhere near as focused on high productivity... At number three we present, with a starting price of $ 17,965. With a 1.8-liter engine, the compact coupe boasts 140 horsepower and 128 Nm of torque. These numbers may not sound impressive at all, but Honda has some really impressive fuel consumption figures - 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving and 6 liters per 100 kilometers when driving on the highway. The new Civic Coupe received the same updates in 2013 as sedans, which means the new model has better interior quality, decent soundproofing and a good list of standard car options that also include a rearview camera and Bluetooth.

2. HYUNDAI ELANTRA COUPE. PRICE $ 17,595

Recently introduced Hyundai car The Elantra is a contender for leadership in the compact coupe segment, which has been dominated by Honda for years. In essence, this is the same Elantra, which has two fewer doors. However, the coupé model is much more attractive, primarily due to the smoother exterior lines and thoughtful elements of automotive design. The 1.8-liter engine with 148 horsepower helps the Elantra achieve an attractive fuel economy, 8.4 liters per 100 km in the city and 6.2 liters per 100 km on the highway. I would like to note that fog lights are included in the basic configuration of the Hyundai Elantra coupe.

1 . FORTE KOUP EX. PRICE $ 17 400

The number one among the most affordable coupes is the two-door version. car kia Forte. The model is nearly $ 200 cheaper than the Hyundai Elantra coupe, but has a more aggressive exterior. Those, who is looking for the most affordable coupe must act quickly as the new Forte Koup is on its way. An updated coupe model was presented, but so far there has been no confirmation that new model will have the same low price... Citing the fact that the car is now equipped with an all-new engine and a wider base package, which now includes LED headlights and an infotainment system, we can safely expect a price increase.
