    Genesis is the third model of the X concept series and the brand’s first convertible concept at the ‘3 Seoul Mobility Show’ held at KINTEX in Ilsan, Gyeonggi-do from March 31 (Fri) to April 4 (Sun). Introduced ‘X Convertible’ for the first time in Korea.

    Like the ‘X’ and ‘X Speedium Coupe’, which were previously released in March 2021 and April this year, the ‘X Convertible’ is a condensation of Genesis’ design philosophy and inspiration for the future.

    In addition, by utilizing the characteristics of a convertible with a roof that opens and closes, it contains the design direction of Genesis’ electric vehicle, which is a ‘driving experience that communicates with the natural environment’.

    Luc Donckerwolke, vice president of Genesis CCO, said, “The flexibility that allows the X-Concept series to be created in various forms is unique to the Genesis brand.” We wanted to include Genesis’ will to actively reflect it.”

    Based on the design of the previous two concepts, ‘X Convertible’ expresses Genesis’ unique design language, ‘Athletic Elegance’, while providing an excellent sense of openness with a hardtop moonroof like a convertible.

    The overall design characteristics of the vehicle are the refined luxury created by neat lines and exquisite curves placed in the right place and the unique intense tension.

    The most notable part of the front is the two long lines of headlamps that reinterpret Genesis’ unique Crest Grille. This is an evolution of Genesis’ representative design elements in line with the era of electrification, and symbolizes the transformation as a pure electric vehicle brand.

    The side part emphasizes a comfortable posture while creating a dignified appearance with a long bonnet, short front overhang, relaxed dash to axle, and long wheelbase.

    In addition, the ‘Parabolic Line’, one of the Genesis design features, starts from the hood, passes through the belt line, and creates a smooth curve to the end of the rear part, exuding elegance.

    At the rear, two rows of quad lamp brake lights and a V-shaped brake light located at the top of the trunk contrast with the elliptical trunk, reminiscent of the wing-shaped Genesis logo.

    The wheel is an aero dish type, which reflects Genesis’ unique G-Matrix pattern and is designed to quickly cool the brake heat while driving.

    The interior space inherited the design direction of the previously released two models of the ‘X Concept Series’ and was thoroughly designed with the driver in mind, such as applying a cockpit in which the control system and display surround the driver.

    Genesis used colors that reflect Korean beauty and emotion for the interior and exterior of the ‘X Convertible’.

    For the interior, two colors inspired by the roofs of traditional Korean houses were applied. ‘Giwa Navy’ is a color inspired by the roof tiles of traditional houses, creating a youthful and modern feel. Inspired by dancheong, a coloring technique used to draw patterns on traditional Korean wooden buildings, ‘Danchung Orange’ contrasts with ‘roof tile and navy’ to complete a unique atmosphere.

    As for the exterior color, ‘Crane White’, a white color with pearls inspired by the divine and elegant appearance of the crane, was applied.

    The ‘X Convertible’, which aims for fun to drive based on an excellent sense of openness, maximizes the sensory experience with rich sound in addition to visual elements.

    In particular, the sound architecture designed in collaboration with Kuk-il Yu, the sound master of ‘Metal Sound Design’, a company specializing in high-performance sound systems, is applied to suggest the direction of future car experiences that combine technology and art.

    Meanwhile, the 2023 Seoul Mobility Show will be held on the theme of ‘Sustainable Connected Mobility (Sustainable and Intelligent Mobility Revolution)’ at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 1 in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, starting with Press Day on March 3 (Thursday) and ending on April 30 ( days) to be held.
