The 2+2 compact vehicle was specifically designed by the Korean carmaker to meet head on the Scirocco of Volkswagen and is expected to have a lower tag price than the latter.

Looking at the spy photos posted by AutoCar, the next gen Coupe is expected to have a rear deck that is a bit long but flat with the design lines looking similar to the Veloster concept displayed back in 2007.

Insiders have hinted that the Hyundai Coupe will make use of an asymmetric body design with 2 doors on the left side to make access to the rear cabin easier. It will also have the conventional design of a hatchback.

The new Hyundai Coupe will be fitted with a 1.6L Theta direct injection powerplant which is the latest from the Korean car manufacturer. The entry level unit will be capable of giving out 140 bhp and will have an optional gearbox that makes use of twin-clutch. After its official launch, a 200 bhp variant will be released featuring a 1.6L turbo engine.

Genesis Coupe is known to be equipped with the “track” package, a powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine configuration, larger wheels, and a stronger suspension. The latest R-Spec of the Genesis Coupe array had managed to trim down, meaning, getting rid of some unnecessary stuff to leave something for the performance aficionados to modify. So this spells out a lighter, slimmed and ever-ready spec for the race track. Hyundai also has the interest of cutting down the cost and weight saving purposes.

The Genesis R-Spec is operational with the engine configuration of 2.0T, and has a lowered, retuned suspension, six-speed manual transmission and tires which measured 19 inches. The race car is also enhanced with the Torsen limited differential and R-Spec insignia. Automatic transmission is not present on this Genesis. But the tires are made for supreme, aggressive performance, and it has an enhanced gripping ability with the larger Brembo brakes on the front and on the rear.

Genesis Coupe R-Spec tossed out some “non-essentials” like the Bluetooth connectors, computers programmed for trips, controls on traveling and automatic headlights. Aside from that, the chrome interior and steering wheel audio controllers are eliminated from the list.

The Genesis is priced at $23,750 or $3,000 less than the 2.0 model. It is also offered in three external colors: Bathurst Black, Karussell White and Tsukuba Red.

The same range in manufactured in other countries by the name Hyundai Coupé. However, be prepared for a surprise if you check out the home market, Korea.
