These two-door concepts build upon the G90 sedan with striking modifications:
- Hood & Grille: An elongated hood and a narrowed, aggressive lower grille redefine the front.
- Rear Design: Muscular rear fender bulges replace the sedan's creased details with a streamlined rear fascia.
Could these design elements hint at a future G90 facelift? The comparison to Mercedes' discontinued S-Class coupe adds to the intrigue.
The interiors reflect Genesis' signature luxury, featuring:
- Materials: Bentley-esque quilted leather and jewel-like switchgear.
- X Coupe: Inspired by Mediterranean olive trees, using green leather and olive wood accents.
- X Convertible: Evokes fine wine with a wine-colored exterior and a blue interior, reminiscent of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
These opulent interiors beg to be seen in a production model.
While mechanical details remain undisclosed, the concepts may draw inspiration from the robust G90 sedan powertrain:
- Base Engine: A 375 hp 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6.
- Hybrid Option: A 48-volt system enhancing output to 409 hp.
These powertrains exemplify smooth and serene performance, earning the G90 the 2023 MotorTrend Car of the Year title.
The potential for these concepts to reach production is uncertain, but Genesis' aspirations through its Magma performance sub-brand offer hope. With previous concepts like the GV80 Coupe transitioning to production, the X Gran Coupe and Convertible remain possibilities that we eagerly anticipate.
The Genesis X Gran Coupe and X Convertible concepts embody luxury and performance, highlighting Genesis' bold design future. We're left with fingers crossed, or rather, in the shape of an X!
