Detailed analysis of the Hyundai Coupe 1.6 16V FX Xplod · 116 CV (2001-2002)
General description
The 1999 Hyundai Coupe, especially in its FX Xplod version, was a cry of rebellion and accessibility in the world of sports cars. It represented the opportunity for many to feel the thrill of a coupé without a prohibitive outlay, a car that promised equal parts sensation and style.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, its 116 horsepower feels lively and eager to rev. It's not a car of pure performance, but its 5-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive offer a direct and honest connection with the asphalt. It's a car that invites you to play in every curve, feeling the work of the chassis and the sound of its engine, an analog and rewarding driving experience.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is pure late-90s audacity. With a low, sharp silhouette, and above all, its controversial four-headlight front end, the Hyundai Coupe left no one indifferent. It was a car designed to turn heads, a statement of intent that evoked speed and sportiness even when stationary.
Technology and features
The technology of the Coupe FX Xplod focused more on the sensory experience than on assistance. Its name betrays its strong point: a powerful sound system that turned every journey into a personal soundtrack. Mechanically, it opted for simplicity and efficiency: indirect injection and basic electronics, prioritizing reliability and an unfiltered connection between man and machine.
Competition
In its time, it faced competition in the niche of affordable coupés. Models like the Opel Tigra, the Ford Puma, or even the Toyota Paseo played in a similar league, each with its own interpretation of a sports car for the masses. The Hyundai stood out for its more aggressive design and generous equipment for its price.
Conclusion
The Hyundai Coupe 1.6 FX Xplod is more than a car; it's a memory, an icon of an era where design and driving fun were accessible. It didn't aim to be the fastest, but the one that made you feel special. A first sports car for many, a car bought with the heart that today awakens a deep nostalgia for its honesty and passionate spirit.
