"The Genesis X Concept can be described as the ultimate vision of Athletic Elegance, the inherent design language of Genesis. The signature Two Lines theme and sustainable luxury will be blueprints for the futuristic designs and state-of-the-art technologies that Genesis seeks to adopt in its future models."

Color of Genesis X Concept

The Genesis X Concept's Lençóis Blue colour is inspired by the lagoons of Maranhenses National Park in Brazil, where a lake forms only during the rainy season. It was developed to express the level of sustainable luxury that Genesis pursues.

Exterior

Front Design

The front of the Genesis X features a low, yet broad silhouette. The shield-shaped Crest Grille combined with the two-line headlamps, which continue through the wheel arch, create a strong front presence.

Side profile

 

The side follows the traditional GT model design with a long hood and a short rear. The side's two-line lamps iconically lead to the headlights and taillights. The arcing Parabolic Line that runs along the side creates a dynamic and elegant impression.

Rear Design

The horseshoe rear design forms a simple and sleek curve, while the contours of the body create a strong, yet sophisticated presence.

The slick, slide-to-open charging door has no parting lines for a seamless aerodynamic look. The Two Lines design continues with the charging port lights.

Design is in the details

Crest grille

To accentuate the imagery of a futuristic electric car, a three-dimensional G-Matrix pattern was applied to the sharp and intricate metal structure of the Genesis Crest Grille. The internal pattern of the grille has been painted in the same color as the exterior in order to create a sense of unity.

Genesis maximized the concept car's sporty sensibility by incorporating two-layered, turbine-type alloy wheels with five spokes. The brake calipers' lime accenting hints at the high-performance character of the Genesis X Concept.

Floating console & dashboard

The Genesis X Concept also features a dashboard that creates the sense that it is enveloping passengers and is connected to a floating center console.

Attention to every detail

The crystals sphere

Like an intricate jewel cradled on the floating center console, the Crystal Sphere is the rotatable Shift-By-Wire controller that is exclusive to Genesis. The device visually indicates on and off status of the vehicle. When parked, it is a beautifully crafted crystal. Once on the move, it rotates into a drive selector.

Sustainable material story

Up-cycled weaving material

The use of upcycled materials adds unique character to Genesis X's interior. A weave-patterned fabric made out of leftover pieces of leather from previous manufacturing processes was used for the safety belts, parts of the steering wheel, and the airbag cover, highlighting the concept car's sustainability credentials.
