Genesis X Gran Coupe Concept: G90-Based Luxury Coupe Eyes Production
G. David Felt posted an article in Genesis
Taking inspiration from the Italian countryside, Genesis has released an updated X concept built on a production G90 platform called the Genesis X Gran Coupe Concept. Per Genesis press release, the X Gran Coupe Concept is an object d' art meant to set free the passion one has for driving on the open roads, looking for adventure wherever they go. Italian-Inspired Exterior Design The exterior metallic green color was taken from the color of the ancient olive trees from Italy's eastern Marche region. Breathing poetry in the gently rolling hills, the X Gran Coupe Concept reflects its surroundings as a multifaceted gem in radiant form. Genesis wanted to from the start ensure that this updated concept exudes athleticism, radiating confidence as the car roars along the road bringing its true spirit alive. The view from a head-on perspective shows this sporty character with widened fenders, sleekly lowered roofline, creating a commanding presence, a predator poised on the edge, muscles taught and coiled, ready to leap. Kinetic energy brought to life. The Profile shows a naturally integrated roof line from front to back, shaping a canopy of a true sports car. Reframing an encompassing design of luxury with "Athletic Elegance" is what Genesis is delivering here. The extended fenders are specifically designed to create a three-dimensional look that gives a dynamic, commanding stance. The LED lines of light are designed to amplify the car's increased track that continues to exude a powerful, confident presence. From country to city, Genesis created this bold silhouette that delivers an elegant, timeless look that is at home no matter where one drives. This latest update builds on the Gran Coupe and Gran Convertible concepts first shown at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show. The Genesis X Gran Coupe Concept was intentionally designed to deliver a minimalist approach while also having a layered approach like fine jewelry from every angle, attention to details that show intent without being gaudy. Mediterranean Interior Craftsmanship The interior was designed to give a first impression of subtle warmth, yet total comfort from the leather, natural olive wood and other details that show a reassuring testament to meticulous craftsmanship. Genesis took inspiration for the interior from the Mediterranean Olive trees, soil and sun. Genesis created a lifestyle collection to compliment the X Gran Coupe Concept, this Pasubio Leather accessory set delivers the cars quiet opulence in life and on the road. Designer's Vision The head of Genesis design stated the following: "The Genesis X Gran Coupe Concept established a new benchmark for luxury cars. It elevates the Athletic Elegance design philosophy already apparent in Genesis' flagship G90 model into a more sculpted silhouette. Its design details, inspired by the Mediterranean countryside, both blend in and stand out even more in this picturesque Italian landscape. In every line, light and texture detail it fuses artistic beauty with exquisite craftsmanship, and in doing so, redraws the map of modern luxury." The X Gran Coupe is the latest chapter in Genesis's X Concept trilogy, and with the G90 WINGBACK Magma concept also pushing the G90 platform in bold new directions, it's clear Genesis isn't done surprising us. Check out the Genesis X Gran Coupe Concept photo and video gallery for more visuals of this stunning coupe on Italian roads. -

Le Castellet, France, Genesis revealed their Magma GT Concept that will define Genesis Performance for the next 10 years. This Genesis Magma World Premiere is the clear expression of Genesis commitment to the future of high-performance luxury capabilities. Back in September, Hyundai Motor Company CEO Investor Day was where Genesis confirmed that they would be entering the Global GT racing class and this would be a 10-year long-term ambition to start offering Performance globally that would compete head-to-head with the Europeans and Asian auto companies. To Quote: Luc Donckerwolke, President and Chief Creative Officer of Genesis, said, “The Magma GT Concept represents the pinnacle of our performance vision and stands as a symbol of our commitment to true motorsport capability. It isn’t defined by raw aggression or uncompromising speed—it is defined by balance. This is a car that feels instinctively connected to its driver, composed under pressure, and meticulously tuned so that every component serves a single purpose: to make performance effortless. The Magma GT doesn’t ask the driver to prove their skill; it enhances it. This is not simply a faster Genesis. It is the most complete expression of Genesis performance to date.” True to its form as the second race car in the history of Genesis, the Magma GT Concept’s design reveals its purpose at a glance—every surface and proportion is shaped to optimized aerodynamic performance and driving efficiency. Key features include: Low-set front bonnet and elongated sloping roofline, creating a sleek, race-ready silhouette. Wide, muscular rear fenders that reinterpret classic GT race-car proportions through the lens of Genesis’ “Athletic Elegance” philosophy. A boat-tail cabin, narrowing toward the rear to maximize stance and emphasize a “low and wide” posture. Front canards integrated seamlessly with the headlights, a distinctive execution that enhances both downforce and identity. G-Matrix aerodynamic patterns, expanding from the front splitter outward into wing-like forms—serving not only as a visual signature but also as functional airflow-optimizing elements. A mechanical rear two-line lamp graphic and fully optimized rear aero structure, creating a wide, planted, and unmistakably Magma GT presence. Per additional interviews, Donckerwolke has confirmed that this Magma GT is the start for entering the Global GT racing circuit, but they will also be offering this car in an S, GTS, roadster, lightweight version, clubsport version, GT3 street legal version, GT3 R only for racing. He also confirmed that the GT and GT3 R will be the first two trims to come out. While details about the interior have been kept under wraps awaiting the official product launch release, Donckerwokle did confirm that the interior is complete and finished. For those wondering about the wheel size, Donckerwolke did confirm that the Magma GT has 20 inch 275/30 tires with the rear being 21 inch wheels with 345/25 tires. View full article

In ten short years, Genesis has accomplished much in what has taken legacy brands decades, introducing diverse forms of the Genesis Magma performance line gives us the striking presence of the G90 WINGBACK Concept. The G90 WINGBACK Concept is built on an unmodified G90 platform with its 126-inch wheelbase and 201-inch length, the Wingback Concept draws out new potential within a familiar platform. Signature Genesis design cues like the Crest Grille, Parabolic Line and the distinctive Two-Line headlamps are intensified, giving the concept an aggressive stance while maintaining an aristocratic demeanor. According to Chief Creative Officer Luc Donckerwolke who drove the WINGBACK out for the reveal, he stated the following: “At the moment there is, let’s say, a multiplication of SUVs. And this fast growth will create a saturation; this is when other typologies of cars are going to become attractive again. This is why I strongly believe in not having a typology monoculture.” Donckerwolke went on to say the following about the G90 WINGBACK, the G90 WINGBACK features the Magma insignia on the front bumper, which is the start of a dynamic, wider body style with large lower air intakes and fender flares that house custom 22-inch wheels running low profile tires. This continues as the WINGBACK carries the parabolic line front to back along the longer wheelbase, the G90 trunk replaced with a roofline that has been stretched to achieve a sleek grand tourer wagon silhouette. The rear tailgate hatch has dual spoilers which help with downward force on the rear wheels enhancing the performance-inspired functional look. The G90 WINGBACK Concept is finished in a deep metallic green color, showing that Magma has gone outside of the Magma Orange color. Donckerwolke stated: “Magma is much more than a color; it’s about showing what is possible when Korean innovation meets global ambition. It represents a distinct Korean vision of care, respect and balance. Magma does not shout; it invites, where most chase aggression and extremes, we seek balance. Magma is designed to be rewarding, not challenging; to complement the driver, not to intimidate them.” The WINGBACK interior highlights the luxury with Magma DNA. A striking, green-colored Magma stitching and details throughout from seats to door trim all have complimenting touches reminding one of a luxury high performance auto. Power waiting to be unleashed as they stated much like Magma bubbling beneath the earths surface. The duality of power and control wrapped in an elegant package is what the G90 WINGBACK shows in a concept auto. This concept embodies a decade's worth of innovation, acceleration for Genesis into the next chapter of their journey. No further information has been given in regard to what type of engine is under the hood, some have speculated a tuned version of the existing twin turbo V6 engine. Others have stated that there appears to be enough room under the hood for a naturally aspirated or turbocharged V8. The WINGBACK will travel the globe helping Genesis get customer input about the style and direction of the Magma lineup. View full article

This week, ahead of the New York International Auto Show, Genesis unveiled two concepts that strongly hint at the brand's future. Genesis Neolun: A Preview of the GV90 First, the Genesis Neolun Concept is likely a strong hint of what an upcoming Genesis GV90 three-row SUV will look like. Neolun merges the Greek and Latin languages, with Neo being the word for "New" and Lun, short for "Luna" or "Moon". The concept's design was inspired by Korea's iconic moon-shaped jars. The shape is the familiar two-box design but with softly rounded corners and the elimination of "frills" that clutter. Dipped in a handsome two-tone Midnight Black and Majestic Blue paint, the Neolun has a striking presence. Sporting a forward-opening rear coach door design, the Genesis Neolun's doors open wide and unobstructed by a B-pillar. Genesis says that B-pillarless development has reached a point where use in a production vehicle is now possible. Futuristic Interior With Production Hints The interior of the Genesis Neolun concept is out there with the high-tech-futuristic-concept-car feel, but there are some hints of production queues hidden in there. The concept's screen is comically large, but with an aspect ratio similar to existing Genesis models, we can see a smaller version making it to production. The center console's style is quite similar to that of the Genesis GV60. The front seats can swivel 180 degrees to face the rear, a feature that we fear no US regulator would allow. In addition to the standard warming seats, the Neolun features a heated floor to give the warmth and atmosphere of a home living room. The special sound system offers an immersive concert hall-like experience while a crystal jewel in the front activates and rotates. While the concept is shown as a two-row, the GV90 is expected to come as a three-row, though a premium two-row version could be possible. Genesis has not released power figures or range for the Neolun. The GV90 will debut Hyundai Motor Group's next-generation EV platform that replaces the E-GMP platform that underpins the Kia EV9 and the forthcoming Hyundai Ioniq 9. We should see the production Genesis GV90 later this year. Genesis GV60 Magma: Performance Goes Electric Genesis is dipping its toes into the performance EV field with the introduction of the Genesis GV60 Magma Concept. The Magma line is intended to be added as a performance option to all production Genesis models in the lineup over the coming years. The GV60 is Genesis's only dedicated EV, and shares its platform with the Hyundai Ioniq 5, itself offered as the performance Hyundai Ioniq 5 N model. The Magma concept has since evolved into the production 2027 Genesis GV60 MAGMA with 641 horsepower. The GV60 Magma Concept elevates the design and performance of the existing GV60, Genesis' first dedicated EV model, with improved battery and motor technology. The concept car is the first step toward creating a deeper emotional connection between the driver and the vehicle. The GV60 Magma Concept's exterior design harmonizes aesthetics with considerations for chassis, aerodynamics and thermodynamics. To enhance stability during sporty driving, the car has been widened and lowered, giving it a more dynamic stance and allowing for a lower center of gravity. At the front, a wider and lower main air intake in the bumper effectively cools the batteries, motor and brakes, while the air curtains enhance the car's aerodynamic efficiency. Three stamped holes above the main air intake, inspired by the GV80 Coupe Concept and the G80 Magma Special, provide additional cooling. Added canards assist in generating downforce on the front axle. The enlarged fenders and integrated wheelhouse outlets help reduce kinetic energy and improve cooling for the brakes. The titanium-colored flow-formed 21-inch wheels feature integrated aero discs, which also help cool the brakes. On the roof, fins have been strategically placed to control the aerodynamic flow and channel it to the rear wing, generating rear downforce and ensuring aerodynamic fluidity. Check out the Genesis Concepts photo gallery for more angles on both the Neolun and GV60 Magma. View full article- 2 replies
