What brand is the Coupe car?

Coupe is from Hyundai Motor. Related introduction: 1. Overview: In 1996, Hyundai Motor Company launched the first generation of two-door coupe models (known as Tiburon in the North American and Korean markets, meaning 'shark' in Spanish). The first-generation Coupe has been sold domestically since its launch and remains available to this day, several years later. For a relatively niche single Korean model, this is quite an achievement. 2. Expansion: The Coupe is the name of a small sports car from Hyundai Motor in South Korea. Derived from the HCD-II concept car, the Coupe is one of the miracles created by Hyundai Motor Company. With its affordable price, understated sports car appearance, and easy-to-handle nature, it quickly captured the hearts of many young and fashionable individuals, especially women.

The Hyundai Coupe, also known as the Tiburon, is a model I remember clearly from the Hyundai brand, produced by the South Korean automaker Hyundai. My first encounter with it was at a friend's place—he drove a 2004 2.0L version. Its sleek, streamlined exterior was ultra-cool, with rounded headlights and a hatchback design that gave it a sporty coupe vibe. For daily driving, it offered nimble steering, making city navigation a breeze, and fuel consumption wasn't too bad either, around 8L per 100km. Hyundai launched the Coupe primarily targeting the youth market, with a relatively affordable price tag—around 100,000 RMB for a new car 20 years ago, allowing budget-conscious buyers to experience a sporty feel. Later, it was upgraded to the Genesis Coupe, boasting stronger performance, especially with the 3.8L V6 engine delivering thrilling acceleration. Yet, it maintained Hyundai's signature reliability and low maintenance costs. This car helped Hyundai gain global recognition, particularly in the Asian market. Nowadays, you can find a well-maintained used one for around 30,000–40,000 RMB, making it a great choice for daily commuting or fun drives.

Speaking of the Coupe, Hyundai was quite smart in building this car. As early as 1996, they launched the first-generation Tiburon, with design inspiration drawn from the shark's shape, positioning it as an entry-level sports car. I’ve collected models and materials related to it and found that it was quite popular in the late 1990s. It came with engines ranging from 1.6L to 2.7L, and the later Genesis Coupe version was more modern, featuring a two-door structure paired with a rear-wheel-drive system, delivering decent cornering performance. Hyundai used the Coupe to break into the market, attracting fashion-conscious buyers. Compared to the Honda S2000 or Toyota Celica, it was more affordable and much simpler to maintain. Parts were also plentiful, offering great potential for modifications, making it ideal for car enthusiasts to tinker with. Overall, this car showcased Hyundai’s transition from an economy car manufacturer to a sportier brand. Unfortunately, it was discontinued in 2016 and replaced by newer models, but it left its mark in the automotive world, and classic examples can still be found in the used car market.

It targets budget-conscious buyers, such as students or first-time car owners, with strong practicality and low maintenance costs. Hyundai used it to fill a market gap, and its reliability is decent.
