Hyundai has released pricing information information for the 2013 Elantra Coupe, which will join the strong-selling Elantra sedan and the new Elantra GT hatchback in dealerships by the end of the month.

The automaker's new Honda Civic Coupe rival will sticker from $18,220 (including destination) for the entry-level GS model with a six-speed manual transmission. While that makes two-door Elantra $1,675 more dear than the base Civic Coupe, the Hyundai does justify its higher price with a longer list of standard content.

Highlights from the standard features list include niceties such as heated front seats, Bluetooth, fog lights, cruise control and 16-inch alloy wheels in addition to expected (but not always included) features like A/C and power windows and locks.

The sportier, up-level SE trim commands $20,520 and brings leather upholstery, a sunroof, aluminum pedals, a sport-tuned suspension, a unique grille and rear spoiler, side mirrors with integrated turn signals and 17-inch alloy wheels.

An optional six-speed automatic can be had with both trims and adds $1,000 to the bottom line. A $2,350 Technology package, available exclusively on auto-equipped SE models, includes a navigation system, 360-watt premium audio system, rearview camera, dual-zone automatic temperature control, automatic headlights, and a proximity key with push-button start.
