Genesis’ New X Speedium Coupe Concept, Here to Get Folks Dreaming
Let’s be clear, this new X Speedium Coupe just unveiled at Genesis House (est. November 2021) in New York is a design study meant first and foremost to showcase the design direction Genesis intends to follow in the coming years. But darned if the Korean luxury automaker doesn’t have a knack for making dreamy concepts that have people begging them to actually make something out of them.
Recall the adorable Mint concept we saw at the last round of pre-pandemic auto shows. And then there was the Genesis X concept presented last spring; this new Speedium Coupe is actually an evolution of that two-door coupe, now in fastback form. And as such, it carries more than a little of the design DNA of the dearly departed Stinger produced by Kia, may it rest in peace.
In relation to the earlier X concept, the Speedium features a reworked roofline, updated lighting and a panel in lieu of the front grille, and it loses a trunk while gaining a duck-tail spoiler.
