The Genesis X Concept Is a Statement EV for the Future | Edmunds
Family resemblance
While the Genesis X Concept is a radical design for the brand, its style is not completely out of left field. Many elements can be found in Genesis models now on sale.
For instance, the massive pointed front grille is an exaggerated version of the one leading the G90 sedan. The dual headlamp stripes that extend down the side profile evoke the lighting signature of the G80 and GV80. And the dramatic ducktail rear end can be found on the GV70 too.
At the Concept X media preview event, a Genesis designer called the Genesis X Concept the “ultimate expression” of the company’s design philosophy.
There are unique visual cues as well. Highlighter-yellow brake calipers indicate that the vehicle is an EV with regenerative braking. The sloping roofline and flattened haunches are borrowed from current models yet taken to the extreme.
Additionally, the wheels have a double-spoke design that creates fan-like airflow to aid aerodynamics. According to Genesis, the design is so intricate that it can only be created using 3D printing.
