Used Hyundai Coupe for sale

The Hyundai Coupe’s later models come equipped with anti-lock brakes, front airbags and side airbags as standard for both driver and passenger. Euro NCAP awarded it a reasonable three-star rating for crash safety. Safety kit on earlier versions can be more basic, so it’s worth looking into the exact model and version details carefully.

The Hyundai Coupe from 2002 onwards offered three petrol engines: a 1.6-litre, a 2.0-litre and a more powerful 2.7-litre V6, with five or six-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearboxes. The 2.0-litre option is often the best all-rounder for most UK drivers, balancing plenty of punch with decent running costs.

The standard features typically include electric windows, air conditioning, an MP3-compatible stereo and remote central locking. Later versions improved the cabin layout and added blue backlighting for the instrument dials. An MP3 connector came as standard on SIII models, while higher trims may add leather or a sunroof. Earlier models will feel basic by today's standards, so keep that in mind when looking used.

Official figures range from around 35mpg for the 1.6-litre down to about 26mpg for the 2.7-litre V6 models, though real-world figures can be a little lower. The 2.0-litre version tends to offer the best balance of performance and running costs for most motorists.

Look for proper servicing, and be aware that clutch and gearbox issues have been reported, mainly on higher-mileage cars. Paintwork, electronics and interior trim are always worth a careful check, and to avoid nasty surprises, consider booking an appointment with The AA Vehicle Inspection.

The Hyundai Coupe is generally reliable if looked after. There are known clutch and gearbox issues, particularly in earlier models, but most mechanical parts are easy to source and often cost less than for rivals. As always, regular servicing is key to enjoying dependable, low-stress ownership.
