Genesis (Hyundai’s premium brand) unveiled the X Speedium Coupe concept car at a special event in New York. The novelty should give an idea of ​​​​future production cars of the South Korean brand, which will gradually begin to abandon internal combustion engines in favor of electric units.

The new vehicle is a further development of the Genesis X Concept , shown in April 2021. One of the main external features of the X Speedium Coupe was the absence of a traditional grille, which is not needed in fully electric cars. At the same time, the place where it should be is underlined by white LED lines running along the entire front of the body.

Plus, it differs from last year’s Genesis X Speedium Coupe concept in an overall silhouette with a longer roof and a redesigned stern, which makes the car more reminiscent of a “Shooting Brake” station wagon.

There is no data on the serial production of such a car yet. At the same time, it is known that by 2030 Genesis plans to become an all-electric brand, the lineup of which will consist of at least six models.

The latest novelty of the Genesis brand for Russia was the G70 Shooting Brake station wagon , the launch of which was announced in early February 2022. The engine range of the model includes 2.0-liter petrol “turbo-fours” with a capacity of 197 and 247 hp, working together with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

At the same time, station wagons have disappeared from the official website of the automaker. The G70 Shooting Brake was the only Genesis model that was not produced locally at Avtotor in Kaliningrad, but was delivered to Russia from South Korea.
