CHICAGO, Feb. 8, 2012 – Hyundai today introduced a new sport coupe variant to its industry-leading Elantra line-up at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. This two-door coupe model of the Elantra sedan, available this spring, will attract even more buyers to the Elantra line-up, further expanding its appeal to savvy consumers. It offers many of the same attributes that made the sedan version a sales success, while broadening its market reach to youthful, sporty buyers willing to forgo four-door versatility for coupe design appeal. The 2013 Elantra Coupe marks the continuing evolution of Hyundai’s “Fluidic Sculpture” design theme with sporty design language, while assuming a compact coupe segment leadership position with an eco-efficient powertrain, generous convenience features, exceptional roominess and abundant safety features.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8, 2012 – Hyundai Motor America President and CEO, John Krafcik, presents the world debut of the 2013 Elantra Coupe and the North American debut of the 2013 Elantra GT today at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. The Elantra Coupe is a two-door coupe model of the Elantra sedan, available this spring. The Elantra GT is a five-door hatchback, slated to hit dealerships this summer. Both will attract more buyers to the Elantra line-up and have best-in-class fuel economy.
