The two cars also rock heavily-customized interiors with Mediterranean influences

- While the two cars are concepts, they show off the brand’s design prowess.
- Both concepts share similarities with other recent Genesis one-offs.
Genesis knows a thing or two about creating gorgeous concept cars, and at the Seoul Mobility Show, it has just unveiled two more. Dubbed the X Gran Coupe Concept and X Gran Convertible Concept, they are both based on the road-going G90, but only have two doors and radically redesigned exteriors.
The duo share resemblances to the X, X Speedium, and X Convertible Concepts designed by Genesis over the past few years, although they aren’t quite as dramatic. Both cars feature the brand’s familiar Two-Line headlights and feature gorgeous 3D front grilles. They personify athletic elegance and make us wish they were new production models. Unfortunately, Genesis has provided no indication about whether or not they will hit the roads.

Compared to the G90, both the X Gran Coupe and X Gran Convertible have more steeply raked windshields and lower roofs. The brand’s designers have also widened the fenders, extended the beltlines, and installed stunning wheels on both cars. Dominating the rear fascias of the two concepts are twin LED light bars and rectangular tailpipes.
Both also rock overhauled cabins. The interior of the Coupe takes inspiration from Mediterranean olive trees with a combination of green and brown leather. Olive leaf motifs extend across the door panels, and there’s intricate quilted stitching. The finish of the Convertible’s cabin couldn’t be any more different, as it’s trimmed in blue, inspired by the colors of the grapes used to create Cabernet Sauvignon wine.
The Future Of Luxury Design?
The two concepts use the same basic steering wheel as the current G90, but a third spoke has been added, making the wheel look a little more conventional.
“In the 10 years since our launch, Genesis has been dedicated to delivering its unique values to more than 1.3 million customers worldwide,” Genesis Global Head Mike Song described. “We aim to seize this opportunity as a launchpad for a new decade, showcasing models that embody Genesis’ pursuit of high-performance technology and future luxury design.”
