Coupes are one of the most popular styles of automobiles among North American drivers. The coupe takes its name from the French “coupé”, which means “to cut”, and refers to the fixed-roof model with a shorter body, compared to a sedan. A classic coupe vehicle seats 2 to 4 people (driver and passenger with rear seating) with two doors.
