Genesis introduces the X Convertible Concept at the 2022 LA Auto Show

KUALA LUMPUR: While Hyundai previews the Ioniq 6 at the ongoing LA Auto Show, its luxury arm Genesis put on display an all-new electric concept, the X Convertible Concept. It is introduced as the third and last model of the brand’s X trilogy, the other two being the X Speedium Coupe and the X Concept. 

The three models not only share the architecture and powertrain setup but also have similar design cues. The latest EV looks completely stunning with a long bonnet and a short front overhang. These are paired with the unique quad-LED lights forming an LED border of the crest grille. We can also find similar quad lights on the rear and a distinctive boot lid inspired by the crest and wings of the brand’s logo.

The EV features air intakes on the front bumper to keep the powertrain and batteries cool. On the sides lie the special wheels boasting a concave design with a G-Matrix pattern.

Offering an unhindered view of the sky is a folding hardtop, which also incorporates a moon roof above the front passengers when the top is closed. The car is sprayed with a bright white exterior finish, inspired by the white crane. According to the automaker, it indicates sanctity and nobility in South Korea.

Inside the Genesis X Convertible cabin lies a large curved display (incorporating an instrument panel and a central display) and a four-seat layout. The seats are upholstered with a recyclable wool fabric with Dancheong Orange and Giwa Navy as primary shades.

“It is the normal development of Genesis to increase the athletic and emotional facet of our design philosophy by creating an emotional trilogy: the X family,” Genesis chief creative officer Luc Donckerwolke described. “Innovation is the catalyst to becoming more engaged with the environment around us. We are in the process of transitioning Genesis into a company that will deliver products for customers to enjoy.”
