Una macchina diversa dall'abituale design di quel tempo nasce come compromesso tra prezzo, qualità e prestazioni. È un modello indirizzato prevalentemente ai giovani poiché ha una linea sportiva e dispone di motori abbastanza potenti a prezzi abbordabili. Sviluppata sulla piattaforma della Hyundai Elantra utilizza sospensioni anteriori McPherson mentre al retrotreno ritroviamo i bracci multipli (schema Multilink).

In Europa la Coupé adottava come motore base un 1.6 16V capace di 116 cavalli mentre il motore di punta era il 2.0 16V disponibile con 139 cavalli. Il cambio era manuale a 5 rapporti mentre in alcuni paesi era disponibile anche l'automatico a 4 marce.
