Genesis finished concept X trilogy with the introduction of the X Convertible concept on Tuesday in LA, taking advantage of the beautiful Southern California weather to showcase the convertible version of the grand tourer we saw in 2021 and the “Speedium” footage. brake was teased earlier this year. What better place to showcase a futuristic convertible concept than Los Angeles? Even better, Genesis went outdoors to showcase its new convertible, avoiding the stuffy show floor for a stunning seaside sunset.
“Genesis started life by producing sedans aimed primarily at business users. While creating new, different design DNA, we gradually increased our emotional appeal by applying the DNA. Now, the electric powertrain offers us the perfect scenario for enjoying nature and pushes the brand to create vehicles with even greater emotional resonance. ,” said brand creative director Luc Donckerwolke.
All the factors that make up X Speedium Coupé very intriguing is repeated here – with the added drama of a lost roof, of course. In fact, when viewed from the top, the X Convertible might even look better than the hardtop. The interior treatment that surrounds the coupe is also done. Although it loses a bit of its proximity to the convertible’s handling, it still looks quite appealing. There’s even a steering wheel. How about that?
As for whether Genesis builds on any of these concepts, that remains to be seen. The company has yet to give us an idea of what might power these low-slung styling exercises, but the smart money lies in the battery-electric powertrain that’s been removed from the list. The company’s portfolio, as of 2023, will include the 576 hp Kia EV6 GT. We’re sure it’ll be quick and maybe worth the wait, but is it worth the weight? The all-electric performance car space is still pretty small for a reason. We’d love to see that change.
