Genesis unveiled the X Convertible concept, which appears in its design features with an EV that builds on previous Genesis X and X Speedium Coupe vehicles. It has architecture and electric powertrain with those cars, but uses a folding hardtop and evokes “purity of design. “and uses what Genesis calls an “anti-coin parabolic” design.
No more additional bulky ailerons and competitive front, replaced by a more sophisticated design and cleaner, longer lines. This duration is further accentuated through the short front overhang that gives it a protruding nose. The X Speedium’s triangular headlights are replaced, as are the dual taillights. The hardtop has an integrated moonroof, giving drivers a view of the stars even when closed.
The interior is very similar to the previous two concepts, with the dashboard screen curved towards the right armrest. It uses recyclable wool fabrics and leather seats, with the Giwa Navy and Dancheong Orange interior colors “inspired by components of classical Korean architecture on the ceilings,” according to Genesis.
We still don’t know anything about the battery or transmission. However, it would make sense to use the E-GMP platform discovered in Hyundai’s Ioniq five and Kia’s EV6. Genesis is likely to increase battery strength and length so that diversity and functionality meet the expectations of luxury car buyers.
Genesis says the X convertible is a “beacon for the brand” that will likely motivate designs in the long run. It will probably never be made this way, but the company needs to show buyers what’s possible. this opportunity to inject more adrenaline into the brand,” he told TechCrunch. “If you think electric cars can’t be sexy, Genesis will prove the exact opposite. “
