Genesis X Speedium Coupe Concept Previews Future EV Designs – Roadshow [CNET]

Genesis unveiled the absolutely spectacular X Coupe concept, a fully electric two-door that showcased the brand’s future design language. It sure seemed like Genesis wanted to actually put the X into production, even releasing shadowy teasers of a future lineup that included distinctly coupe-shaped silhouettes. On Wednesday at the Genesis House space in New York during the auto show, the automaker revealed a new version of the concept called the X Speedium, and it looks even cooler.

Genesis says the updated styling on the X Speedium previews the look of future EVs, and that’s a damn good thing. The biggest change is in the overall proportions, as the X Speedium has a fastback, almost shooting-brake-like greenhouse instead of the X Coupe’s traditional roofline and trunk. It gives me Aston Martin DB2/4 vibes in the best way, and while Genesis didn’t release any interior photos, it seems like the Speedium’s taller roof gives rear passengers a lot more space. Crucially, the Speedium keeps the same incredible boxed fender flares as the original coupe concept.
