What are the advantages of buying a coupe?

A coupe is generally considered to be more stylish and sporty looking than an equivalent saloon or hatchback model. Take the Audi A5 and BMW 4 Series as cases in point. Both of these models are stylish, enjoyable to drive and have very nicely put together interiors. Both of these cars are also based on more conventional saloon models, the A4 and 3 Series respectively, which aren’t exactly dowdy, but the do lack the rakishness of their coupe cousins.

What are the disadvantages of buying a coupe?

The most significant disadvantage of buying a coupe is that you have to trade a degree of practicality for that extra style. Two- and three-door coupes mean that if you carry multiple passengers regularly then they will have to scramble past the front seats to reach those in the back. Likewise, many coupes, even with back doors, are four-seaters rather than five, so just two people can fit in the back, often with restricted headroom thanks to the coupe’s shallower roofline.

Do coupes only have two doors?

No, is the simple answer, nor is this a modern development as some may otherwise claim. Coupes with rear doors date back as far as the 1930s and while they eventually fell out of fashion in the 1970s, the past couple of decades has seen their resurgence. In fact, four- and five-door coupes, such as the Audi A5 Sportback and Mercedes CLA are now more popular and easier to find on the used car market than two- and three-door alternatives along the lines of the BMW 2 Series Coupe and Volkswagen Scirocco.

What is a newer development is the rise of the SUV coupe. The SUV aspect relates specifically to the car’s ground clearance and whether it looks as though it could be driven off-road (even if it can’t in reality), while the coupe element refers to the lower, sleeker line of the roof. Inevitably, for such models as the Cupra Formentor and the electric-only Volvo C40, there is a practicality sacrifice compared with the more upright styling of the closely related Cupra Ateca and Volvo XC40, the sleeker profile improves their aerodynamic efficiency, making them a little less expensive to run.
