Genesis X Gran Coupe and X Gran Convertible

South Korean brand Genesis has revealed its two new concepts, the X Gran Coupe and X Gran Convertible. Both models are based on the G90 road-going model, which will be offered as a coupe and convertible.

“Genesis is committed to providing unique value to more than 1.3 million customers worldwide. We aim to use this opportunity as a launch pad for the new decade, to showcase models that embody Genesis’ pursuit of high-performance technology and future luxury design,” said Genesis global head Mike Song.

Both models are reminiscent of the X Speedium and X Convertible that we saw a few years ago. Compared to the G90, both models have Two-Line headlights, a 3D front grille, more sloping windshields, wider fenders and slightly longer beltlines. At the rear are two LED light bars and rectangular exhaust tips. Overall, the concepts look elegant, and many are hoping that we’ll see production versions soon, although Genesis hasn’t commented on the matter.

When it comes to the interior, the coupe’s cabin is covered in a combination of green and brown, while an olive leaf pattern adorns the door panels. The convertible’s interior is designed differently. It’s inspired by the colors of the grapes used to make Cabernet Sauvignon wine, and is covered in blue leather.

Genesis GV60 Mountain Intervention Vehicle Concept

Genesis is known for luxury cars, and now it has decided to take a step forward. Following the presentation of the GV80 special model at the Dakar Rally, the South Korean brand has launched a new model, the GV60 Mountain Intervention Vehicle Concept. The car was created for snow, and is based on the GV60.

The car is equipped with carbon fenders, front and rear undercarriage protection, additional headlights, huge snow tracks placed in place of the wheels, while on the roof there is a light bar mounted on custom roof racks. Although using an electric vehicle in cold conditions far from serious charging infrastructure does not sound like a good idea, the vehicle-to-load system can be useful, as it allows the concept to power auxiliary devices.

The interior of the crossover is equipped with new sports seats, medical equipment and communication systems for mountain rescue.

Last year we saw another special concept, the X Snow Speedium Concept, which is based on the standard X Speedium Concept. It was painted white and had roof racks for skis.

2026 Genesis GMR-001 LMDh

After Aston Martin announced its return to the WEC (World Endurance Championship) this summer, another manufacturer is entering one of the toughest competitions in the world. According to the latest information, Genesis is developing the GMR-001 LMDh prototype that will compete from 2026.

Genesis has not yet revealed the engine configuration that will power the GMR-001 prototype, but they have revealed that they have chosen the French company Oreca for the carbon chassis, out of four possible manufacturers. According to the current regulations, all LMDh class prototypes have an identical gearbox (X-Trac) and components that make up the hybrid system (Williams batteries and Bosch electric motor).

Cyril Abiteboul, who has long been at the head of the Renault F1 team, has been chosen as the boss of the newly founded Genesis Magma Racing team, and for now it is known that the driver lineup will include three-time Le Mans winner André Lotterer and Pipo Derrani, who won the GTP class title in the IMSA championship last season.

Genesis plans to enter the North American IMSA Endurance Championship in 2027.
