Hyundai continues to round out its growing product portfolio, adding all-new models along with variations on its existing products. With both turbocharged and hybrid versions of the bread-and-butter Sonata already confirmed for 2011, Inside Line believes a Sonata coupe is the next logical extension of the nameplate.
The Sonata coupe would be mechanically the same as the recently revamped sedan, offering both the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and possibly the 2.0-liter turbo that was introduced last month at the 2010 New York Auto Show.
Adding coupe counterparts to its already existing sedan models is nothing new for Hyundai. In addition to the already mentioned Genesis coupe, Hyundai is not far from introducing the Hyundai Veloster, a coupe built on the same chassis as the compact Hyundai Accent sedan. Look for the Hyundai Sonata coupe to arrive at least a year after the sedan lineup is fully up to speed.
Inside Line says: Midsize coupes have never been volume sellers, but if Hyundai can keep the costs down and the styling right, it could easily snag its fair share of the market without much effort. — Kelly Toepke, News Editor
