    Genesis Reveals Gran Coupe and Gran Convertible Concepts at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show

      Cars are alive and well according to Genesis as the G90 Sedan sprouts coupe and convertible concepts

    Today at the SEOUL Mobility 2025 Show Genesis revealed their X Gran Coupe and Convertible Concepts. Genesis stated this is another step in the future of the Luxury division towards redefining automotive luxury and performance. This New Era of Genesis is dedicated to their global customers in sharing their aspirations for Cars and SUVs. 

    Genesis focused on these two cars that they believe will deliver what people are wanting in a car for the launchpad of driving in a new decade as Genesis looks to release new models that embody their pursuit of high-performance technology and future luxury design.

    Genesis stated that these two concepts took inspiration from the greater Mediterranean area. Specifically, the coupe was inspired by the Mediterranean olive tree and the convertible by southern European wines.

    These Genesis concepts are additional interpretation of the G90 series of Luxury cars. The Coupe showcases the Genesis way of elegance with athleticism while the convertible showcases the freedom of expression with connection to the surrounding environment.

    The X Coupe and X Convertible Concepts are adorned with Genesis’ characteristic Two-Line headlights, which extend toward the iconic Genesis Crest Grille. The 3D grille meshes are inspired by woven metal strings arranged in diamond-shaped Two-Line patterns.

    Overlooking the Genesis G90 Convertible Concept interiorThe wide lower air intakes with sculpted grille meshes emphasize the sporty character of the vehicles, while the elongated hoods create a dynamic silhouette. The widened Two-Line headlights extend to the fenders, visually enhancing the increased track width.

    Side profiles and wheel designs were purpose built to enforce a muscular dramatic stance for these cars. Aesthetics was also not forgotten as Genesis took a high-tech approach with flush Genesis logos and hidden retractable cameras, touch-less operations such as the trunk.

    From the olive tree use of veneer wood accents to crystal accents that convene a captivating display of light to bring warmth into the interior cabin, these concepts were paired with soft materials using recovered materials including wastewater used in the tanning process of the leather seats that gives a natural olive oil scent for the Coupe and a natural Cabernet Sauvignon for the convertible. These G90 Concepts in lush colors contrast drastically with the recently shown G90 Sedan Black Edition.

    Motivation in both cars is from the current G90 Twin-Turbo V6 that produces 409 horsepower, 405 lb-ft of torque with a 48V electric supercharger.

    These are SEXY cars that I could see myself driving. Being based on the G90 autos, that brings large interior spaces for large people. Should be exciting to see if they go from concept to production.

    Those are sweet...and colorful.  Love the interiors... 

    I love that two-tone green interior. That is hot compared to all the Blah Black interiors America and Europe has put in auto's. Love both exterior colors, I hope they go into production as I think these would sell well here in the U.S.

    Genesis wants soooo bad to be seen as European....

     

    but yes, these are incredibly sexy.

    I can see them doing it as that front end is so well balanced compared to what BMW and Mercedes has put out that is not hitting it with the masses. The athletic stance with graceful luxury makes me see a balance that we have not had in many luxury cars, though I will also say that Cadillac V edition has this balance too imho.

    Hot Daaaamn! These look beautiful.

    We can only hope they actually build these. We all know the take rate would be insanely low, but I feel like it would be great for the brand's image and hopefully sell other models.

    The M8 is a pretty dang good looking car, too, though. 

    Cadillac doesn't have a full size coupe like this Genesis or the M8. They don't even make the CT4-V Blackwing Coupe.

    I will agree that is a good-looking car, but I never see them around the PNW and as such only the HUGE Kidney bean grilled cars and SUVs

    There's actually an M8 coupe and M8 Gran Coupe in our parking garage at work. The coupe looks much better, imo.
