10 New Coupe SUVs: Curved Lines Over Practicality But Who Cares?




Have you ever wondered why some SUVs look as if a chunk of their rear end was chopped off and smoothed to resemble a sleek fastback? Well, this is the latest coupe-SUV fashion trend in the automotive design that has been steadily gaining popularity since the success of the 2000s Infiniti FX. This athletic profile allows drivers to single themselves out and pretend as if their family hauler is actually all about sporty elegance and not people carrying. In today’s episode we will acknowledge the trend by featuring the newest models of the 2021.

Renault Arkana & Arkana e-Tech: en.media.groupe.renault.com/news/new-renault-arkana-the-hybrid-suv-coupe-for-europe-236b-989c5.html

Sitting between Kadjar and Koleos SUV in terms size, the coupe-like Renault Arkana arrives to the European market, borrowing the platform from the South-Korean Samsung XM3.

All Sportback models get standard LED headlamps with optional matrix units, a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a large 12.3-inch driver’s display.

DS 4 Cross 2021: int-media.dsautomobiles.com/en/ds-4-refinement-engineered

The new arrival from the Peugeot premium branch, DS4 is placed somewhere in the gray area between a raised-hatchback and a subcompact coupe SUV.

Cupra Formentor: cupraofficial.com/cars/cupra-range/formentor.html

Though honestly speaking the Formentor looks a bit too squarish for a Coupe-SUV, Cupra is adamant about slapping this popular moniker on its first standalone model. The compact combines streamlined body lines with a dynamic rear spoiler, aggressive air intakes, and several copper exterior accents, like those on the grille and the wheels.

Genesis GV70: genesis.com/kr/en/models/luxury-suv-genesis/gv70/highlights.html

Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé: mercedes-amg.com/en/vehicles/gle/coupe.html

Hyundai Ioniq 5: hyundai.news/eu/model-news/hyundai-ioniq-5-redefines-electric-mobility-lifestyle/

Built on the dedicated E-GMP platform the Ioniq 5 is a mid-size CUV that inaugurates the all-electric Ioniq subbrand by Hyundai. It was inspired by the 1975 Pony hatchback, the company’s first production car, but has a clear focus on the future.

  1. Suv coupe??? Ha ha ha ha, they are just big raised garbace cans, aestheitically ridiculous and ugly to see!!! All look like big raised funeral home car driven by human zombies.

  2. Mi dispiace ma manca un'auto che nel rapporto qualità-prezzo e in quello Tecnologico-Performante vince su tutte. Soprattutto la si potrebbe considerare la capostipite dei Suv Coupè. Avrà pure scopiazzato qualche piccolo particolare dalle altre ma è sicuro che sono le altre ad aver attinto alle linee e idee della Kia Xceed. Sicuramente non menzionata per l'ancor basso blasone del marchio e dell'esperienza. Ebbene niente di più errato. La SudCorea è pronta a sfornare modelli di auto futuristici e performanti da destare maggior attenzione da parte dei famosi blasoni e soprattutto da parte dell'autore di questo video. Fra solo 1 anno ce ne si accorgerà!

  3. BMW X6 started this Coupe SUV category. Even Tesla copies that for aerodynamics. BMW is always ahead in designs. Too bad, they are not having electric versions of the X6 and X4 yet.

  4. The model with very curved like a Brazilian is Mercedes_AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC, combines the sportiness of a sports coupe with the luxury and features of a limousine such as class S

  5. simply love the INFINITI QX55 4WD + 2.0 in. Lift 1.6 TDI I4 5-Dr C-SUV (LHD)!!! really wish it was available in RHD, looks better than most of it's competitors except for the Audi Q3!!! as for the SEAT Cupra FORMENTOR 4WD + 2.0 in. Lift 1.5 TSI I4 5-Dr C-SUV (LHD) it would be great if it's available in RHD in India!!! then there's the HYUNDAI Ioniq 5 hhhmm . . . don't know what to say because the Ioniq 5 surely doesn't look like any Crossover or C-SUV, not even close!!! rather it looks nothing more than a 100% e-Hatchback!!!!!! I'm sure other people will agree including you my friend!!! something's seriously wrong with the HYUNDAI engineers!!! probably still reeling from the after effects of the pandemic!!!
