Why is it masculine?

Coches is masculine. While it does derive from a borrowed word related to coaches/carriages (possibly from Turkish "koche" or similar sources), the gender assignment in Spanish follows the pattern of many masculine nouns ending in "-e". The word entered Spanish through various Romance language intermediaries and became established with masculine gender, which is typical for many Spanish nouns with this ending.
