Coupé
A coupé is a car with a sporty, low roof line and usually two doors, often with limited rear seat space.
What is Coupé?
Some manufacturers also use the name for four-door cars with a sloping roof. Coupés often share their platform with a saloon of the same range. Insurance can be higher for sporty coupés. Four-door coupés usually have frameless side windows.
How it works
The lower, sloping roof improves looks and aerodynamics at the cost of headroom.
Why it matters for your car
Long doors need more space to open in car parks. Rear passengers may struggle with access and headroom.
