Full 2014 Hyundai Elantra Coupe Review

What's New for 2014

The 2014 Hyundai Elantra coupe gets several updates, including a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and sport-tuned suspension and steering. Also, the GS and SE trim packages have been consolidated into one trim level, so standard and optional equipment moves around quite a bit.

 

Introduction

When Hyundai ntroduced its Elantra coupe last year, we were impressed with the car's good fuel economy, large number of standard features and attractive styling. The only real drawback was that its performance didn't quite match its sporty looks. Now that gripe has been addressed with the 2014 Hyundai Elantra Coupe, making this likable car even better.
The Elantra coupe is built on the same platform as its sedan sibling, and it has a similarly roomy interior even with the two-door layout. Front and rear headroom are impressive and there's more trunk space in an Elantra coupe than almost any of its rivals. To address the less-than-sporty personality, Hyundai has given the Elantra coupe a bigger, more powerful 2.0-liter engine. The suspension and steering have also been retuned in hopes of providing more driver engagement. Now the Elantra coupe feels lighter on its feet thanks to its more energetic acceleration and sharper cornering ability.
These are all fine choices for an affordable coupe. But overall, Hyundai's stands out with its ideal mix of style, performance and practicality. It's one of our top picks in the segment and worthy of your consideration.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The 2014 Hyundai Elantra compact coupe comes in one base trim level. It comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, foglights, heated mirrors, full power accessories, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, air-conditioning, a height-adjustable driver seat, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity and a six-speaker sound system with a 4.3-inch touchscreen, a CD player, satellite radio and a USB/iPod interface.
