INTRODUCING THE GENESIS X SPEEDIUM COUPE CONCEPT
The Genesis X Speedium Coupe was born out of a “freestyle” design exercise based on the Genesis X Concept, inherits the timeless Genesis’ design philosophy, “Athletic Elegance” in an even more progressive way.The Genesis X Speedium Coupe was born out of a “freestyle” design exercise based on the Genesis X Concept, inherits the timeless Genesis’ design philosophy, “Athletic Elegance” in an even more progressive way.
This car is an open-door moment in Genesis’ journey towards our future EV design. This isn’t a show car — it’s a look into our design processes as we explore ideas for the next wave of EVs, one that incorporates Genesis’ DNA.

The concept’s metallic emerald green shade is referred to as “Inje Green.” As expected of a car that was inspired by a Korean racetrack, the color encompasses the mountainous landscape where the track is located, completing the image of a classic car that embodies dynamism, speed, and timeless elegance.
EXTERIOR
Genesis’ signature Two Lines lamps have evolved into a full-width element that encompasses the shape of the crest resembling the Genesis Crest Grille. It carries an EV face that symbolizes Genesis’ transformation towards becoming an all-electric car brand with a six-model line-up by 2030.
EXTERIOR
The Parabolic Line extending from the front to the rear of the car maintains a certain tension in the design as a classic car would. The deliberate “anti-wedge” design culminates in a streamlined look that exudes understated elegance.
EXTERIOR
An elliptical tail balances out the look for a visually engaging tension between convex and concave surfaces in the rear. The V-shaped brake lights interrupt the circular shape by producing the striking contrast that is one of the hallmarks of a Genesis vehicle.
REDUCTIVE DESIGN
Genesis followed the principle of reductive design, or “less is more” for the concept car. The Genesis X Speedium Coupe stands out for its restrained elegance, clean lines, and subtle curves.Genesis followed the principle of reductive design, or “less is more” for the concept car.

The hourglass silhouette highlights the car’s passion and character. The curvaceous and sensuous form accentuates the wheel arches creating muscular presence.
By integrating the daytime running lamps with the low beam, high beam and turn signals, Genesis reinterprets the Wing Face for the electrification era.
