16Genesis dropped a bombshell ahead of the 2022 LA Auto Show. Somehow, Genesis was able to keep its newest concept car secret up until recently, when it revealed the prettiest convertible concept I\u2019ve seen in ages\u2014the Genesis X Convertible Concept. And every premium brand should take notice.<\/p>\n

The Genesis<\/a> X Convertible Concept is an electric convertible grand touring car concept and it\u2019s breathtakingly beautiful. It\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve looked at a car design and though it to be perfect but I think the new Genesis X concept is just that. Perfect. I can\u2019t find a shape, line, or body panel on it that I don\u2019t like. It\u2019s long, low, lean, and muscular. There\u2019s a restrained aggression to it that reminds me of the best British GT cars.<\/p>\n

There are also some clever design elements throughout. For instance, Genesis found a clever way to work its brand\u2019s front-end design language in without the use of a grille, by simply recreating the grille\u2019s silhouette in headlight bars. It looks great, keeps Genesis\u2019 brand recognition, and eliminates the obnoxious fake grilles of almost every other EV. I\u2019m looking at you, BMW i4<\/a>. Clever design like that is what we need more of in the industry.<\/p>\n

Out back, the double taillights and subtle ducktail spoiler give off Aston Martin DB9 Volante vibes and it\u2019s lovely. Also lovely is the way the shoulder line stats at the hood and makes its way all the way back to above the rear fender, which makes it both elegant and muscular looking. The taillights are also in line with the headlights, so if you look at it in profile, it looks like they\u2019d meet if they continued on.<\/p>\n

I think my favorite part, though, is the wheel design. Just look at those things, they\u2019re gorgeous. That might be the best modern wheel design I\u2019ve seen on a factory car. It\u2019s somehow both incredibly aggressive and elegant. It would look equally as good on a Bentley as it would on a Corvette. Just gorgeous.<\/p>\n

If it sounds like I\u2019m fawning over the Genesis X Convertible Concept, it\u2019s because I am. I\u2019ve been looking at this car since it debuted last night and I haven\u2019t tired of doing so yet. It\u2019s just spectacular looking and I pray Genesis puts it into production. Not only is it beautiful, though, it\u2019s exactly the sort of car the market needs right now.<\/p>\n

People need get excited about EVs and we need more than just futuristic looking sedans and hatchbacks. So far, 90-percent of EVs on the market are smart, practical, sensible vehicles. We need fun cars with beautiful designs and the Genesis X Convertible Concept could be just the thing. I hope BMW, and the rest of the premium market, takes notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
