The Difference between a Coupe and a Sedan

Posted: Sunday, July 17th, 2016

Drivers in the market for a new car have a lot to think about, and as finance experts, we’ve found that we get quite a few questions from our drivers about cars and types of cars. We want to help with one of the most common questions: what’s the difference between a coupe and a sedan?

After you get the rundown, fill out our secure finance application and let Green Light Auto Credit help you toward your next sedan or coupe.

Sedans vs Coupes

While there’s more than just one difference between a coupe and a sedan, there’s one very clear feature that most drivers use to tell them apart: the doors. A coupe is a two-door car that features longer front doors with no doors for the back seats while a sedan is the typical four-door car most people are familiar with.

Some automakers offer their cars in both coupe and sedan builds, but you should keep an eye out for one other key difference, as it can practically make the decision of coupe or sedan for you: space. While you might have guessed that a two-door car can be a little tough to get in and out of for any rear passengers, coupes also tend to have less interior space. In exchange, many coupes feature a fastback design that gives the car a sportier feeling.
