With its sight firmly set on the Honda Civic Coupe, Hyundai has announced pricing for the all-new Elantra Coupe following its world premiere at the Chicago Auto Show this past February.
The
2013 Elantra Coupe starts at $17,445 for the base GS rising to $19,745
for the sportier-tuned Elantra Coupe SE, with both MSRPs excluding a
$775 (*) freight charge.
By comparison, the base 2012 Civic
Coupe with 140hp starts at $15,755, but as Hyundai points out several
times in its press release (…), the Honda models lacks several standard
features that are found on the GS such as alloy wheels and
air-conditioning.
"The Elantra Coupe also has a remarkable content advantage over Civic Coupe," says Hyundai.
"For example, Elantra comes standard with a six-speed transmission and
four-wheel disc brakes, features not found on any Civic Coupe."
Aside
from the air condition and 16-inch wheels, other standard features on
the base GS include heated front seats, AM/FM/SiriusXM Satellite
Radio/CD/MP3 audio system, steering wheel audio controls, illuminated
vanity mirrors, cruise control, Bluetooth, external temperature gauge,
fog lights, power locks, power heated mirrors, remote keyless entry with
alarm, 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback.
The SE grade adds 17-inch alloys
with P215/45R17 tires, a sportier tuned suspension, power sunroof,
leather seats, steering wheel and shift knob, aluminum pedals and a rear
spoiler.
Regardless
of the trim level, all Elantra Coupe models are powered by a 1.8-liter
four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 148-horsepower and 131 lb-ft of
torque, linked to 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmissions.
The
automatic model returns an EPA estimated 28 mpg city and 39 mpg
highway, while the manual delivers 29 mpg city and 40 mpg highway
