The Hyundai Coupe, which is now outselling the Toyota Celica and Audi TT in the UK, is to receive a facelift, with the new look version in showrooms early in the new year.

The latest improvements were shown for the first time at the Paris Motor Show last week.

The front end has a more aggressive look, with new headlights, grille, and a new front bumper with larger air intake. The side has a slightly altered profile with different intake vents, while the rear light clusters have also been redesigned. New 16 inch and 17 inch alloy wheels complete the makeover.

There are also some styling improvements to the interior, including sportier aluminium effect for the air vent surrounds and door handles.

When the facelifted Coupe goes on sale in the new year, prices are expected to be similar to the current model, which starts at £14,495 on-the-road.
