what is the difference between a coupe and a sedan??

Answer 1

a coupe generally has two doors and a sedan has four doors

Answer 2

Depends on the coupe, You have 2 kinds: the traditional coupe, which is 2 doors and 2 seats. you also have a 2+2 coupe which is 2 doors with a small backseat. The Sedan is 4 door. Generally has a large trunk. seats 4-5 people. Don't be fooled by people saying that sedans are less sporty than coupes. There are a number of manufacturers that make sport sedans. ie: Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru WRX, Infinity G35, Audi A4, Mercedes cls550. Sedans also have a larger market for resale than a coupe. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

A two-door sedan is defined by the SAE as any two-door model with rear accommodation greater than or equal to 33 cubic feet (0.934 m³) in volume (a calculation made by multiplying the legroom, shoulder room, and headroom). By this standard, the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, and Mercedes-Benz CL-Class coupes are all two-door sedans. Only a few sources, however (including the magazine Car and Driver), use the two-door sedan label in this manner.

In the popular vernacular, a two-door sedan is defined by appearance and not by volume—vehicles with a so-called formal roofline are called two-door sedans, while those with the more common sloping backlight are called coupes. This has led to the so-called four-door coupe, which is a sedan with classic coupe-like proportions. The designation was first applied by Rover to a variant of its P5 from 1962 until 1973. It has more recently been adopted by DaimlerChrysler for the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, which the Mercedes marketing department has erroneously called the first four-door coupe. Other companies are leaping into the segment as well, but the term four-door coupe is entirely aesthetical, and not the product of any formal definition. To make matters even more clouded, the Mazda Mazada RX-8 meets the volume requirement to be called a sedan, but it has vestigial rear-hinged rear doors, making it a 2+2-door sedan.

Answer 4

A coupe has 2 doors and is sometimes a high-performance car. A sedan, on the other hand, has 4 doors.

Answer 5

Just the number of doors. A coupe has 2 and a sedan 4.

Old joke, why can't you have 4 doors on a chicken coop? Because if you did it would be a chicken sedan.

Answer 6

Rule of thumb: Hardtop 2-door=coupe Hardtop 4-door=sedan. "sport sedans" tend to break this a little. Pretty much if it's sporty, sleek, looks like it's made for speed it's a coupe. Sedans are for carrying people, everyday driving, etc.
