Other luxury car manufacturers soon followed suit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The SUV coupe benefits from many advantages taken from both the coupe and SUV portions of its heritage. It has good off-road capabilities, better performance, and is aerodynamically designed. However, it does suffer from a higher price tag than typical SUVs and doesn&rsquo;t have the traditional look of a true coupe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The majority of SUV coupes on the market are from luxury manufacturers, but more everyday manufacturers like Toyota are starting to throw their hat into the ring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The SUV coupe goes by many names. It&rsquo;s also called the crossover coupe, sports utility coupe, and sports activity coupe (SAC). This might puzzle some drivers who know the coupe as a class of car with only two doors, but the SUV coupe is anything but typical. It combines the off-roading capabilities of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/full-size-suv-what-is-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"SUV\">SUV<\/a> with the sporty look and feel of a traditional coupe. So how did this combination come to be, and is it as good as it sounds? Let&rsquo;s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SUV Coupe History Summarized<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/bmw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"BMW\">BMW<\/a> first introduced the concept of an SUV coupe to the market with the X6. The vehicle had elements of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/bmw\/x5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"BMW X5\">BMW X5<\/a> at its bottom half and more coupe&ndash;like elements on its top half. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/jaguar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Jaguar\">Jaguar<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/mercedes-benz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Mercedes-Benz\">Mercedes-Benz<\/a>, and other car manufacturers started to follow suit shortly after with their own versions of the SUV coupe. The Jaguar I-Pace, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and more were pushed into production, solidifying the SUV coupe category over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages and Disadvantages of an SUV Coupe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The modern SUV coupe draws its size, practicality, and capability from its SUV heritage. At the same time, it inherits the low-roof design, sporty spirit, and high-performance aspects from the traditional coupe. While this combination definitely has its benefits, there are also a few drawbacks to look out for when deciding if an SUV coupe is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some advantages of SUV coupes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rugged and capable of off roading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better overall performance than conventional SUVs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aerodynamic body<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SUV-like road presence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More feature-filled and spacious than a coupe<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Similar visibility and ride height to SUVs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, coupe SUVs also have their drawbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Higher price tag than traditional SUVs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Isn&rsquo;t a &ldquo;true&rdquo; coupe with a two-door design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less headroom and cargo space than traditional SUVs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poorer performance than traditional coupes due to weight and higher center of gravity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Material+Symbols+Outlined:opsz,wght,FILL,GRAD@24,100,0,0\">\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/OwlCarousel2\/2.3.4\/assets\/owl.carousel.min.css\">\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/genesis_child\/custom\/widgets\/customer-reviews\/assets\/css\/styles.css?v1.0.23\">\n\n<section class=\"customer-reviews-banner\">\n    <div class=\"crb-flex\">\n\n        <div class=\"owl-carousel crb-carousel\">\n            <div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/v1714710789\/carparts\/blog\/widgets\/customer-reviews\/customer-reviews-01\" alt=\"first customer reviews screenshot\"><\/div>\n            <div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/v1714710789\/carparts\/blog\/widgets\/customer-reviews\/customer-reviews-02\" alt=\"second customer reviews screenshot\"><\/div>\n            <div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/v1714710789\/carparts\/blog\/widgets\/customer-reviews\/customer-reviews-03\" alt=\"third customer reviews screenshot\"><\/div>\n            <div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/v1714710789\/carparts\/blog\/widgets\/customer-reviews\/customer-reviews-04\" alt=\"fourth customer reviews screenshot\"><\/div>\n            <div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/v1714710789\/carparts\/blog\/widgets\/customer-reviews\/customer-reviews-05\" alt=\"fifth customer reviews screenshot\"><\/div>\n            <div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/v1714710789\/carparts\/blog\/widgets\/customer-reviews\/customer-reviews-06\" alt=\"sixth customer reviews screenshot\"><\/div>\n            <div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/v1714710789\/carparts\/blog\/widgets\/customer-reviews\/customer-reviews-07\" alt=\"seventh customer reviews screenshot\"><\/div>\n            <div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/v1714710789\/carparts\/blog\/widgets\/customer-reviews\/customer-reviews-08\" alt=\"eight customer reviews screenshot\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"crb-details\">\n            <span>Thousands of happy customers choose CarParts.com.<\/span>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Shop Now\">Shop Now<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/OwlCarousel2\/2.3.4\/owl.carousel.min.js\"><\/script>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/genesis_child\/custom\/widgets\/customer-reviews\/assets\/js\/script.js?v1.0.0\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current SUV Coupe Models on the Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a good number of SUV coupes out on the market today if you want to purchase one for yourself.
