As new car consumers value practicality over aesthetics, we are slowly starting to see the end of the two-door coupe body style. This was once a popular configuration in the U.S., with everything from the likes of Toyota to Rolls-Royce offering two-door variations of its four-door models. As we enter the electric era, thetwo-door coupe is a complete rarity , as manufacturers pay much more attention to the four-door coupe body style. Only a handful of electric coupes are available today, all of which are very expensive and niche performance models.

This is a confusing decision considering new electric platforms give manufacturers the opportunity to create multiple body styles at a much lower cost . The bulk of the electrical components sit close to the floor, leaving enough space for designers to reconfigure the profile into a sleeker two-door silhouette. If we had it our way, we’d really like to see the electric cars on this list benefit from sleek and stylish two-door alternatives.

In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from various manufacturer websites and other authoritative sources, including The EPA and Consumer Reports. We’ve ranked the models below based on their starting MSRPs from least to most expensive.

10 Polestar 2

MSRP: $49,990

The Polestar 2’s lack of a coupe alternative is a mystery to us considering the brand launched with a two-door performance coupe in the guise of the Polestar 1. Such an option would be a great follow-up to its inaugural limited edition car.

Thankfully, we may get some Polestar coupe and roadster models, as highlighted by the Polestar 6 and BST concepts. The Polestar 2 is a dedicated high-riding electric sedan that sits on the group’s CMA platform. It’s available with your choice of a rear or all-wheel drive configuration, with the former producing 299 horsepower, and the latter 455 horsepower if you specify the optional Performance Pack.

Performance Specifications

Polestar fits the newrear-wheel drive configuration with a 79 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which achieves a 320-mile range estimate on a single charge on the smaller set of standard wheels. The dual-motor configurations maintain the 75 kWh packs, resulting in a 276-mile range for the non-performance derivative on smaller wheels. The entire range’s combined energy consumption ranges between 95 and 115 MPGe.

It’s worth noting that the Polestar 2 still has the means to go until it masters refinements, as Consumer Reports notes the model to suffer from some serious quality niggles. This is something the brand has to rectify if it wants to dive into the world of more aspirational two-door models.

9 Volkswagen ID.7

MSRP: $50,000 est.

The Volkswagen ID.7 five-door liftback sedan, so it’s already set up to adopt a two-door configuration. Volkswagen appears to have a clear lack of interest in coupes as it doesn’t offer any two-door models. The Beetle and Scirocco were the brand’s last two-door models, and this is likely to be the case for a while.

The ID.7 is still due to reach the U.S., so we don’t have a full list of claimed specifications, but we know the brand is planning on launching the model at around $50,000. The GTX 01 , which generates 335 horsepower and 413 pound-feet, is the trim we’d like to see as a two-door coupe.

Performance Specifications

According to Volkswagen’s claimed specifications, the GTX derivative covers 0-60 MPH in 5.2 seconds and reaches a 112 MPH top speed. The EPA is yet to provide estimates for the flagship derivatives, but we know that the base rear-wheel drive model covers 300 miles on a single charge from its 77 kWh battery pack and returns a 113 MPGe combined energy consumption figure. Volkswagen already applies this state-of-tune to its Touring body style.

8 BMW i5

MSRP: $67,100

The BMW i5 is unlikely to transform into a coupe model, but there’s no reason why the brand can’t take the same approach with the ICE range and create an electrified 8 Series based on its proportions. This is a traditionally unsuccessful model, so we understand that the demand is low, but we think the heritage alone is enough to warrant its inception.

The i5 range is currently available with one electrically excited motor mounted to the rear if you specify the eDrive40 trim. It generates just 335 horsepower, but this is enough to get it from 0-60 MPH in around 5.7 seconds. The smallest wheel option lets it return a 105 MPGe energy consumption estimate on the EPA’s combined cycle.

Performance Specifications

The one we’d really like to see as a coupe is theM60 derivative , which benefits from a pair of motors that the brand’s performance division has tuned to 593 horsepower. This affords it a 3.7-second 0-60 MPH claimed time, but it returns a slightly worse 91 MPGe combined energy consumption estimate. Independent reviews suggest that the M60 will cover this acceleration sprint in around 3.6 seconds. It’s truly a wonder as to why BMW hasn’t taken advantage of the CLAR’s platform and made an aspirational coupe derivative yet.

7 Genesis Electrified G80

MSRP: $74,375

Considering the Genesis brand is partly born from Hyundai’s short run of performance coupes, it’s truly a mystery as to why we don’t have an Electrified G80 two-door coupe derivative. This would be an ideal and aspirational platform to base such an example on, especially with its pair of permanent-magnet motors that work together to generate 365 horsepower to all four wheels. This gets you from 0-60 MPH in around 4.9 seconds before hitting a limited 140 MPH top speed, which would be the perfect set of specifications for a luxury coupe.

Performance Specifications

The EPA estimates that the South Korean luxury sedan will return an 87 MPGe combined energy consumption result, which isn’t very competitive next to the Air’s results. Its 282-mile range from the new 82.5 kWh battery pack also makes it somewhat of a less practical option. Where the Electrified G80 does excel is in the value department, as it is an all-inclusive model with very few possible optional extras, furthermore motivating the need for a two-door coupe.

6 Tesla Model S

MSRP: $74,990

The Tesla Model S adopts a lot of coupe cues, so the lack of a two-door model is a mystery. The upcoming Roadster will fill this gap in, but there still won’t be a four-seater two-door coupe option.

The Model S’s existing standard dual-motor offering features two permanent-magnet motors that generate 670 horsepower, which affords it a 3.1-second 0-60 MPH time. This model also benefits from a very impressive 405-mile range claim and 120 MPGe combined energy consumption estimate thanks to an advanced 99.3 kWh battery pack.

Performance Specifications

Theflagship $89,990 Plaid is the Tesla should be considering for a two-door coupe option. This features a third induction motor on the rear axle, which increases the model’s total power output to 1,020 horsepower, resulting in a 1.99-second 0-60 MPH time with a one-foot rollout subtracted. It still manages to cover 396 miles on a single charge and return a very competitive 116 MPGe combined energy consumption estimate. While the market may be small, we have no doubt that this would be one of the more popular options.

5 Porsche Taycan

MSRP: $99,400

The Porsche Taycan should be a two-door coupe, but the brand squeezed an extra pair of doors for the sake of practicality. In fact, the lack of a two-door GT model in the brand’s catalog is somewhat strange, considering how successful the 928 was. This German performance EV is one of the best-handling cars you can buy today, so imagine how the extra rigidity of a two-door model would improve it by.

The base model features one permanent-magnet motor on the rear axle, which generates 402 horsepower with the standard battery pack. You can expect it to complete a 0-60 MPH sprint in 5.1 seconds. It’s not the best model for efficiency, as it only returns an 83 MPGe result on the EPA’s combined cycle while covering 242 miles on a single charge.

Performance Specifications

The all-new Turbo GT derivative sits at the very top of the range, more than justifying the choice to provide a true coupe variant. It features a pair of electric motors that can generate up to 1,019 horsepower to all four wheels, which gets you from 0-60 MPH in just 2.1 seconds from a standstill. The EPA hasn’t provided energy consumption figures for this option.

4 Mercedes-Benz EQS

MSRP: $104,400

The Mercedes-Benz EQS is technically a coupe, but with two extra doors on the rear. The brand has seriously been lacking a large two-door option ever since the demise of the S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet in order to make room for the new SL derivative. Being Mercedes-Benz, we’re likely to see a dedicated electric two-door coupe model akin to the new CLE range, but an EQS-based option would be pretty much unrivaled in its class.

The base 450 Plus features a single electric motor that produces 355 horsepower to the rear wheels, which gets you from 0-60 MPH in 6.2 seconds. This trim also returns a 97 MPGe combined energy consumption estimate and 298-mile range from its new 118 kWh battery pack.

Performance Specifications

Like the EQE, Mercedes-AMG offers its own unique state-of-tune for the EQS Sedan. This would be the best opportunity for the brand to create an AMG Hammer successor, but with next-level performance abilities. With the Dynamic Plus trim, you get to enjoy a 751-horsepower state-of-tune that achieves a 3.4-second 0-60 MPH time and 155 MPH top speed. With this, you also have to make do with a 77 MPGe combined energy consumption and 230-mile range estimate.

3 BMW i7

MSRP: $105,700

The BMW i7 is one of the best electric luxury cars currently sold in the U.S., but again there is now two-door coupe option. Granted, BMW has never released a 7 Series alternative, with the 8 Series being more aligned to its 5er, but an EV rebirth would be the perfect opportunity for the brand to change this.

The Bavarian brand starts the range off in the U.S. with its eDrive50 model, which generates 449 horsepower to the rear wheels, resulting in a 5.3-second 0-60 MPH time and 127 MPH top speed. It’s also able to return 90 MPGe on the EPA’s combined energy consumption cycle and 321 miles on a single charge.

Performance Specifications

The BMW M-specific dual-motor M70 configuration sits at the top of the range with a $168,500 starting price. This produces a combined 650 horsepower, which reduces the 0-60 MPH acceleration time down to 3.5 seconds and increases the top speed to 155 MPH. With the luxury coupe status, any one of these configurations would be a perfect fit for a large two-door flagship derivative.

2 Audi E-Tron GT

MSRP: $135,150 est.

A two-door Audi E-Tron GT would be the perfect successor to its iconic Quattro model from the 80s, but on a slightly larger scale. However, the German brand is yet another example of how mainstream companies are slowly getting rid of their two-door models in favor of four-door coupe alternatives. Audi’s EV strategy seems to even bid farewell to its four-door sedan models in favor of this configuration. The E-Tron GT’s standard S derivative features a pair of electric motors that produce 671 horsepower, which gets you from 0-60 MPH in 3.4 seconds.

Performance Specifications

The RS E-Tron Performance is an all-new specification that inherits the Taycan Turbo GT’s configuration, but with a slightly reduced 912-horsepower state of tune. This configuration is still able to cover a 0-60 MPH sprint in a very impressive 2.5 seconds. Beingan all-new model , we are still waiting for official pricing and EPA-estimated energy consumption results. Interestingly, Audi has teased two-door coupe concepts, such as the SkySphere, but we’re yet to see any of these transform into a road-going production model.

1 Cadillac Celestiq

MSRP: $340,000 est

Theall-new Cadillac Sollei concept shows us just how desperately Cadillac needs to transform its Celestiq into a two-door coupe or convertible model. There’s a strong chance that this will develop into a road-going model, in which case, we’d finally have a worthy successor to the much-loved Eldorado lineage.

Performance Specifications

The Celestiq will be Cadillac’s most expensive car it’s ever made, which makes it more than a fitting choice for a two-door coupe alternative. This model is set to release with a pair of dual permanent-magnet motors that generate a combined 600 horsepower, resulting in a 3.8-second 0-60 MPH time and 126 MPH top speed. The brand says you can expect its 111 kWh battery pack to cover 300 miles on a single charge.
