Automakers are rushing to show their electric concept models to the public and let them know to expect from the brand in the future. We saw the Lexus LF-Z Electrified just a couple of days back, and now, we have one from Genesis. Called the X Concept, the Genesis product is made its debut in Los Angeles and is said to present “Genesis’ sustainable luxury in the form of an EV-based high-performance GT coupe concept car”. Fancy, eh?

What Makes The Genesis X Concept Special?

The Genesis X Concept is the fifth concept following the New York, GV80, Essentia, and Mint concepts. As is with any new EV, its primary focus is on a sustainable design in the form of a luxurious high-performance GT coupe car. The South Korean automaker follows a ‘Two Lines’ design philosophy that is present across the concept, quite literally.

Up front, the concept features the signature Genesis Crest grille with the logo on the tip of the clamshell hood. The Two Lines design philosophy comes into play in the headlights. They extend onto the fenders by cutting through the wheel arches. Some resonance with the Rivian lights. The bumpers are standard fare with huge air dams to aid aerodynamics and improves efficiency.

The side profile follows a muscle car-esque stature – long hood, stout rear. The conventional wing mirrors are replaced by digital side mirrors. The turbine-type wheels look sporty and could be designed keeping its aero-efficiency in mind. You can also see the lime green calipers peeping from behind.

The taillights are also a ‘Two Lines’ setup, but aren’t long bar strips, which is a common sight in EVs these days. The charging port comes with a sliding cover and looks pretty slick. You can also see the two-lined lights around the port here. Did you like the X Concept’s color? Well, it’s called the Lençóis Blue that’s inspired by the lagoons of Maranhenses National Park in Brazil. Just a little trivia there. Overall, the X Concept looks quite fancy and could turn out to be a sweet-looking production-version car.

The emphasis is on the driver-oriented cockpit with everything available in an arm’s reach. We generally see light shades in the cabin, but Genesis opted for a contrasting scotch brown color scheme gelled with ocean wave green-blue.

The floating center console seems more inclined towards the driver. There is a free-form display to control the clusters, navigation, and HVAC control, but it seems a little too radical to be offered as a production-spec option. The bucket seats are wrapped in a weave-patterned fabric made out of leftover pieces of leather from previous manufacturing processes for the safety belts, steering wheel, and airbag cover. That’s a good way to be sustainable, too.

Conclusion

There is no other information provided and it seems like the concept only showcases the car’s design philosophy. Genesis has stayed mum on the battery, performance specs, and other related information. While you can probably see some design elements of this concept carried into the future products, a production-spec version of this concept as a whole seems a little far-fetched at the moment.
