Coupe cars from the very beginning of their production attracted attention with their sporty appearance. In the budget price segment, many are primarily focused on ease of operation, reliability, fuel consumption. The appearance is placed in the penultimate or last place.
As we know, real sports cars are considered a luxury and only people with a good income have them. But few people know that you can move around in less beautiful cars for much less money. A beautiful coupe can be bought for 350,000 rubles or less.
It is necessary to be careful in choosing such a car, since often their main buyers are young people who do not hesitate to squeeze everything they can out of the engine. Be sure to ask about the operation of the car. If you have serious intentions, then do not be lazy - inspect the main components, check their condition and wear. The brightest representatives of their class are selected here. There is usually a demand for such machines among the people and there should be no problems with spare parts.
1) Toyota Celica VII generation. Produced from 1999-2002. The brightest representative of this class. Selick can often be found on our roads. It has become widespread due to its import from the east and west. Available in right hand and left hand drive. Standard engine 1.8 l 143 l \ s - high-torque, with low consumption. There is no turbine, which increases its service life. There are no problems with service. Spare parts both original and non-original full. Of course, there are minor inconveniences, such as poor sound insulation, little space, but they are inherent in most coupes. The price tag has a rather large spread - from 240,000 to 500,000 rubles or more.
Conclusion: A good option, both for everyday driving and as a weekend car. Much appreciated by tuning enthusiasts.
2) Mitsubishi Eclipse III. Produced from 1999-2006. Direct competitor to Toyota. This is a Japanese car that was produced for the American market. Many components are taken from a Chrysler vehicle. Here everyone knows the old and reliable engine 2.4 l 156 l / s. It does not produce hurricane dynamics, but it does not let you get bored either. But the expense on it is an interesting thing. It directly depends on what they did with the engine. For decent people, the consumption in the city will be about 12 l0, but for "racers" it can be 18-20 l0. 3.0V6 is less common, but its consumption is an order of magnitude higher, and the power increase is not as desirable. It is better to take a car with a manual transmission. The automatic machine is installed here old, 4-speed and thinks for a long time on overtaking. The price tag of a car varies from 220,000 rubles to 420,000. Again, it all depends on the condition. Spare parts are no problem. Most parts fit Mitsubishi Galant and Chrysler Sebring. In terms of cost, they also do not differ in exorbitant prices.
Conclusion: Not a frequent visitor on our roads, but the appearance of which always gives the impression of an expensive, sports car.
3) Toyota Solara. Produced from 1998-2003. This is the same Toyota Camry, only in a coupe body and was produced only for the American market. Very rare on our roads. With its size attracts a lot of attention. Comfort at a good level, to be sure - this is a Camry. The engine is also its 2.2l 137l \ s. Enough to overtake, but I would like to be faster. Consumption average 10-11l0km. With spare parts, service is also no problem. Questions may arise only on the body, but this is understandable. The cost is around 350,000 rubles.
Conclusion: Excellent value for money. The only problem is that it rarely occurs. On the Russian market it is presented in the form of a couple of dozens of such copies.
4) Chrysler Sebring Coupe II generation, after restyling. Produced from 2003-2007. This is the same "ship" as the Toyota Solara, which is converted from a sedan to a coupe. The main problem here is ground clearance. With such dimensions and landing, it is difficult to drive through bumps and bumps, and inadvertently you can break through the bottom. There are problems with visibility - you have to go halfway to see approaching cars from behind the houses. The technical equipment is familiar to us from the Mitsubishi Eclipse III generation. Engine 2.4-3.0l. There are no surprises here. Parts and service are identical. Consumption on average 12-13l0km. The price varies from 250,000 to 400,000 rubles.
Conclusions: Classic American, spacious, comfortable car. It also doesn't happen often.
5) Citroen C4 I Coupe. Years of release: 2004-2008. Here it is necessary to make a reservation - this is not quite a coupe, rather a 3-door hatchback. But because of his appearance, he fits well into this list. The positives are obvious: it's the freshest copy; design, interior and ergonomics are also up to date; dynamic performance is ok. The problems here almost outweigh the pros. This is mainly related to operation and maintenance. At dealers, the price bites noticeably, to be serviced by unofficials - at your own peril and risk. Electronics can fail, and suspension comfort leaves much to be desired. Consumption for such a car is too big - 10-11l0km. The average price tag stopped at 270,000 rubles.
Conclusion: The French know how to make a car with a striking design and striking appearance, but behind it lies a lot of technical tricks.
Bottom line: When inspecting a car, do not be stingy with checking its technical condition, it is possible that the car has been in an accident and was literally assembled in parts. Know that the attention of others can not always compensate for the headache when repairing a car.

We note right away that the word “inexpensive” means coupes that are more or less common on Russian roads, with a price still different from the space one! More precisely, cheaper than three million rubles, in order to avoid paying a luxury tax.
In addition, buyers often confuse the coupe with three-door hatchbacks like the Opel Astra GTC and Renault Megane Coupe. And manufacturers for marketing and advertising reasons do not correct this mistake.
In our review, true coupes are presented, that is, two-door sedans. Those with a trunk lid that opens without a rear window.
However, while compiling the list, we, unfortunately, failed to fully comply with the status quo.
Some models are so masterfully camouflaged, and so similar in their lack of pragmatism to the coupe, that we could not help but include them in the review, albeit with some reservations.
Cost - from 799,900 rubles
Actually, the most inexpensive coupe on the Russian market. Therefore, it is not worth demanding much from the car, especially from driving characteristics. In fact, this is the usual Kia Sid, covered with a less practical, but more ostentatious body, which the car attracts in the first place. Another “yes” vote is the presence of a two-liter engine in the base and a good list of included options.
MINI Coupe
Cost - from 888,000 rubles
The smallest "kupeshka" of the Russian market. Mini is another car that is not formally a coupe, being a three-door hatch. And in terms of driver qualities - cards in general, and in the best sense of the word! But a very specific appearance with a roof cut in the rear and a strictly two-seater interior still make it possible to separate the MINI Coupe from its more familiar counterpart.
Cost - from 1,069,000 rubles
Machine with an amazing history of serial appearance. The concept shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show was so warmly received by the public that the French decided to put the experimental car into production with virtually no changes. In every sense, a very interesting and driver's car in Europe is sold with a bang, and in Russia it is very bad, despite the initially attractive price. It is not so much the presence of only two versions with a capacity of 160 and 200 horsepower that affects, but the extremely biased attitude of Russians towards French cars. And unfortunately, due to extremely low demand, the charismatic coupe will soon leave the Russian market.
Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86
The cost of Toyota GT86 is from 1,294,000 rubles
It makes no sense to separate these cars. The BRZ and GT86 are one and the same car, created by a joint Japanese effort during a period of general cost savings. But the car is very good. The rear-wheel drive coupe turned out to be truly sporty and reckless. For the experienced driver!
The cost of Subaru BRZ is from 1,436,000 rubles
Coupes are divorced from the market exclusively financially. Subaru, which considers itself a premium brand, sells the BRZ in only one top-end version. Toyota has three modifications with two gearboxes. The engine is one for two - a two-liter 200-horsepower "opposite".
bmw
The cost of the BMW 2-series is from 1,331,000 rubles
According to the new ideology, BMW brought the brand, coupe and convertibles into a separate even series. So the ideological follower of the “kupesh-kopeck” is now called the BMW 2-series. In fact, a unique car for the Russian market is the only rear-wheel drive model in the golf class. Possessing excellent driving qualities and a “hooligan” character, the BMW 2-series is offered in three versions: with petrol or diesel “two-liter” with a capacity of 184 horsepower each and in the top-end M235i with 326 horses.
The cost of the BMW 4-series is from 1,750,000 rubles
The "senior" BMW 4-series, despite the innate driver's "vein", has already been made with a great eye on comfort. You still need to select customers from the main rivals with a three-pointed star! In the range, the same motors as the "two", except that the most powerful one no longer has the designation "M".
The cost is from 1,499,000 rubles.
Unfortunately, another car that is “dying out” in our market due to its origin. In Russia, they are not yet ready to buy "French" at a price of one and a half million rubles. Dealers sell the last leftovers. Anyone who still decides to buy will receive a very unusual outside, stylistically ascetic inside, but in any case, a calm and comfortable car with a single 2-liter gasoline engine with 170 “horses”.
Cost - from 1,599,000 rubles
The strategic task of the Koreans is to fill all existing niches by any means. Everything should be in the Hyundai lineup, including, of course, the coupe. Genesis is a car for those who need a maximum of ... show-offs for minimal money. Spectacular appearance, powerful 250-horsepower engine, 8-speed "automatic", rear-wheel drive and top of the range. Cool? Cool! Only now, the driving characteristics, which are average for such a car, in the absence of a pretentious logo, make buyers look in other directions.
mercedes benz
The cost of Mercedes-Benz C-coupe - from 1,620,000 rubles
As in BMW, the Stuttgart also honor true traditions and keep the brand, offering the buyer traditional rear-wheel drive coupes. The most inexpensive of them is the C-coupe. The two-door “tseshka” has in the range three gasoline engines with a capacity from 156 to 306 horsepower and, of course, a hyperversion with an engine of 457 “horses” from the AMG studio!
The cost of Mercedes-Benz E-coupe - from 1,995,000 rubles
Mercedes, of course, also has a larger and more thoroughbred coupe, designated by the letter “E”. Oddly enough, the car has an indirect relation to the E-class sedan, since technically the model is built on the basis of the same C-class. What Mercedes does not advertise much, and buyers are not particularly interested in it - it says E-class, which means E-class! In the end, any Mercedes is good, especially when it is beautiful and strong. Under the hood of the “yeshki-kupeshki” there can be one of four engines with a capacity of 184 to 306 horsepower.
Audi
The cost of the Audi A5 is from 1,630,000 rubles
In the model range of this German manufacturer, the classic coupe, in fact, is only one - the A5 model. Attractive forms of the car has a range of four engines and (in the tradition of Audi) two sports modifications: S5 and RS5. And the only drawback of the car is its age - the model has been produced for the eighth year (!), Periodically undergoing modernization.
The cost of the Audi TT is from 1,643,000 rubles
Even older is the Audi TT, which we also conditionally classify as a coupe, although in fact the car does not belong to this class. But with its appearance and driving capabilities, the TT really differs little from a coupe. To date, the car has lost the image of an "alien saucer", and behind it its former popularity. The range includes four motors ranging from 160 to 340 horsepower.

There is some truth in this, but in order to become the owner of a stylish coupe, you do not have to break the bank, because even in this segment there are inexpensive models that even a middle manager will be able to afford.
We have a list of the 10 cheapest and most affordable two-door cars, starting at just under $26,000. We had to draw a strict line and not include hatchbacks like the Scion tC or . However, the list still turned out to be diverse and you will find many coupes of large and small sizes in it. Each of them has an attractive appearance and can provide a dynamic driving experience.
10 . SUBARU BRZ PREMIUM. COST $25,495
With a low starting price, the Subaru BRZ offers great handling but little power. Starting at $25,495 and edging out of #10 on our Dodge Challenger top, the car has only 200 horsepower provided by a four-cylinder in-line boxer engine. The BRZ is lightweight, making it equally powerful on the road and on the track. Thanks to its rear-wheel drive, the BRZ is a perfectly balanced car, although who can argue that it also has a very attractive appearance? The base BRZ is good enough, but doesn't offer much of what the FR-S sister model has to offer. However, you'll find HID headlights, a touch-screen radio with navigation, and LED daytime running lights as standard. Previously, we have already covered this model in the materials: "" and "", so if you want to get acquainted with it in more detail, you are welcome.
9 . SCION FR-S. COST $25,255 
The iconic twin brother of the Subaru BRZ costs only a few hundred US dollars less and has fewer features. It is the perfect choice for those drivers who are looking for driving fun more than anything else. The Scion FR-S features an optimal car suspension package that makes driving more fun than Subaru's. This is another reason, besides the cost, that makes the Scion more attractive to a potential buyer.
8 . NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE. COST $25,230 
The next inexpensive coupe is the Nissan Altima, which many have forgotten about, but in vain, Nissan still sells this car. It costs a little less than the Scion, for $25,230 the buyer gets a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 175 horsepower. Thanks to Nissan's Xtronic CVT system, the Altima is a fairly fuel-efficient car, investing in 10 liters per 100 km in city driving and 7.3 liters per 100 km in highway driving. Not bad for a car that is in desperate need of an update. Rumor has it that Nissan will end production of the Altima Coupe, which is hardly surprising given the model's low sales volumes.
7. HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE 2.0 T. COST $24,250 
Those looking for a rear wheel drive car that will provide the same driving pleasure as the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, those who want more power from a car for less money, take a closer look at the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. This car is not only cheaper than the Scion FR-S, but it also has 74 horsepower more than its rival. The base Genesis coupe doesn't have a limited-slip differential, which means it lacks handling compared to the Toyobaru twins, but in a straight line, the Genesis can really do well.
6. HONDA ACCORD LX-S. COST $23,350 
Yes, it really is, for $23,350 you can become the owner of a coupe car with efficient fuel consumption. The name of this car is Honda Accord Coupe. The car boasts not only its price, but also a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, whose power is 185 horsepower. In all-wheel drive AccordCoupe shows a combined fuel consumption of 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers. In addition, as for a coupe, the Accord is a fairly roomy car, it can comfortably accommodate not only passengers in the front car seats, but also in the rear.
5 . CHEVROLET CAMARO LS. COST $23,345 
For five dollars less than the cost of a Honda Accord, you can be the proud owner of a 323 horsepower Chevrolet Camaro. With its limited-slip differential, the Camaro is the ultimate fun-to-drive sports car, but it's a bit heavier than its siblings and sits in the shadow of the Camaro SS and ZL1. However, thanks to the acclaimed blockbuster movie about robots from another planet, this inexpensive coupe is easily recognizable, every teenager would like to become the proud owner of a Bumblebee. It is worth noting that the car is respected not only by the younger generation, but also by people of a fairly mature age. You can read about the newer Chevrolet Camaro model on the pages of our auto magazine.
4 . FORD MUSTANG. COST $22,200 
The last muscle car in our top ten is the V-6-powered Ford Mustang that sends 305 ponies to the rear axle. If you can live with the lack of independent rear suspension, the Mustang is a surprisingly attractive car that delivers superb value for just $22,000. While other Mustangs are equipped with V-8 or turbocharged engines, this car's engine will make you feel the pleasure of driving an iconic American vehicle that won't break your pocket.
3 . HONDA CIVIC LX. COST $17,965 
While our list contains quite a few rear-wheel-drive exciting muscle cars and sports cars, our last three coupes are nowhere near as performance-focused. At number three, we're introducing the , which has a starting price of $17,965. With a 1.8-liter engine, the compact coupe boasts 140 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. These numbers may not sound impressive at all, but Honda has some really impressive fuel consumption figures - 8.4 liters per 100 km in city driving and 6 liters per 100 km in highway driving. The new Civic Coupe received the same updates in 2013 as the sedans, which means the new model has better interior quality, decent soundproofing and a good list of standard car options that also include a rearview camera and Bluetooth.
2 . HYUNDAI ELANTRA COUPE. COST $17,595 
The recently unveiled Hyundai Elantra is a contender for leadership in the compact coupe segment, which has been dominated by Honda for years. In essence, this is still the same Elantra, which has two doors less. However, the coupe model is much more attractive, primarily due to the smoother exterior lines and thoughtful automotive design elements. The 1.8-liter engine, which produces 148 horsepower, helps the Elantra get quite attractive fuel consumption, 8.4 liters per 100 km in the city and 6.2 liters per 100 km on the highway. I would like to note that fog lights are included in the basic package of the Hyundai Elantra coupe.
1 . FORTE COUP EX. COST $17,400 
Number one among the most affordable coupes was the two-door version of the Kia Forte. The model is almost $200 cheaper than the Hyundai Elantra coupe, but has a more aggressive look. Those, who is looking for the most affordable coupe, must act quickly as the new Forte Koup is on its way. An updated coupe model has been unveiled, but so far there has been no confirmation that the new model will have the same low price. Citing the fact that the car now features an all-new engine and a wider base package that now includes LED headlights and an infotainment system, we can safely expect a price increase.
Fans of passable vehicles need to pay attention to a special class of jeeps related to all-wheel drive cars. These are three-door SUVs that are among the most capable off-road vehicles. They are valued not only for their appearance, but also for some technical characteristics. For example, many of these jeeps have a short wheelbase, as a result of which they can get out of any trouble using their own strength.
Advantages and disadvantages of three-door jeeps
To begin with, you should consider the advantages of three-door SUVs over their five-door "brothers". In size, they do not differ much from each other. Although there is a difference, it is minimal. The interior decoration is identical, the only thing is that the 2nd row of seats can be presented a little shorter. The advantages of such a car:
- The advantages, no doubt, include the presence of a rigid body, because this is a very important indicator in terms of safety. Three-door crossovers have a high rate of body rigidity.
- Reduced interior noise. Although this advantage is not obvious, comfort loves minor nuances.
- If we talk about the cost of these cars, then compared to five-door cars, 3-door SUVs have a price 5-10% lower. It all depends on the class of car.
To equate these cars with the detachment of "family cars" language will not turn. They are designed mainly for young people, for whom a sporting character plays a certain role, and passengers, if they happen, are very rare.
Approximate prices for three-door SUVs
What kind of 3-door SUVs can you buy in car dealerships now? 8 models can be noted, which are still mass-produced. Not a lot, however, among them there are real experts in their field:
- Range Rover Evoque (since 2011) - price from 1,699,000 rubles;
- Land Cruiser J15 (since 2009) - price from 3,299,000 rubles;
- Jeep Wrangler JK (since 2007) - price from 1,759,000 rubles;
- Suzuki Grand Vitara II (since 2005) - price from 979,000 rubles;
- Suzuki Jimny (since 1998) - price from 769,000 rubles;
- Lada Niva (since 1977) - price from 399,000 rubles;
- Nissan Patrol (since 1987) - price from 1,599,000 rubles.
The best three-door SUVs and crossovers
Thanks to a wide range of three-door crossovers, it is possible to identify and characterize the very best of them.
According to many automotive publishers, the Jeep Wrangler is considered the best SUV. An American SUV can surprise with its grip on the road and a large number of other useful and important technical characteristics.
Wrangler belongs to the class of 3-door cars, has a short wheelbase, huge ground clearance and excellent wheels to overcome various obstacles.
The main advantages of a car include the following:
- excellent stability and patency;
- a very large concentration of equipment that is required off-road;
- good gearboxes and engines;
- you can order a car with a soft or hard folding roof;
- the assembly of the car and each individual element is carried out at a high level.
The presented three-door SUV conquered lovers of passable vehicles, however, the cost of over a million rubles does not allow everyone to buy such a vehicle.
The famous Russian proverb “small, but daring” seemed to be written for this small jeep. Despite their small size, Japanese 3-door SUVs can surprise you with their resistance to a variety of tests and excellent cross-country ability.
Jimny has excellent technical characteristics. The main advantages of its design include the following:
- excellent suspension solutions - it is stable and soft when traveling over rough terrain;
- engine capacity of 1.3 liters, as a result of which it perfectly pulls a light SUV, if not heavily overloaded;
- the three-door crossover has a high ground clearance, it is possible to change the wheels to a larger diameter.
Equipping Suzuki Jimny with various off-road accessories is not difficult.
In addition, potential buyers will be pleased in terms of price. This is one of the most affordable cars in a fairly narrow and specific segment.
A couple of years ago, three-door crossovers under the Korando name were discontinued in Korea. The Russian plant TagAZ has attempted to establish the production of the presented SUVs at its facilities.
So the owl got the name TagAZ Tager, which is considered the only 3-door car that competes with more expensive jeeps. The main advantages of the Russian-Korean car include:
- interesting design;
- there is good off-road equipment;
- low cost - about 600 thousand rubles, depending on the configuration;
- good interior and quite high-quality assembly.
When viewing the review of the submitted jeep, you can understand that it really claims to take a leading place in the class of three-door cars. However, a closer acquaintance reveals certain disadvantages in the Tager design.
The presented car belongs to the category of "old", as it has already left its own under the SsangYong logo.
Lada 4×4
The traditional Russian car, which became one of the first civilian cars with all-wheel drive in the USSR, is the familiar Niva. At the moment, this jeep is already called Lada 4 × 4, is produced on the AvtoVAZ conveyor and is steadily declining in popularity among hunters.
Looking at the 1985 release of the car and today's, you will not find any differences. The car has some problems:
- technical characteristics of obsolete equipment do not make it possible to compete with market leaders;
- there is not enough information and videos on the Internet due to a decrease in popularity and interest in the car;
- taking into account the old technical equipment and very archaic design, a fairly high price was put up for the car.
Soon AvtoVAZ plans to completely change the car, giving it some novelty. The SUV will still be a three-door, but it will completely change its technical characteristics, taking as a basis the technique of the American direction of General Motors.
Taking into account the already established partnership between automotive corporations from America and Russia, this possibility seems quite real.
Three-door SUVs are a great option for those who like a comfortable and fast ride. In addition, such machines feel great off-road, as they have a shortened base. And if you are a novice driver, then buying a three-door SUV is the most suitable option.
