Frankfurt, Germany, 17 January 2024: Genesis has seen another successful year at the Good Design Awards 2023, with X Convertible Concept receiving an award in the Transportation category. The latest accolade marks the ninth year in a row that Genesis has claimed a design award at the esteemed event.
As the brand's inaugural convertible concept, the X Convertible completes the X Concept trilogy, sharing its architecture and electric powertrain with the X Concept and X Speedium Coupe Concept.
The convertible’s folding hardtop roof features a transparent moon roof above the front row to create an open ambiance even when closed. This innovative design, coupled with the car’s architecture and powertrain, opens new possibilities of seamless communication with nature so that passengers can enjoy the surrounding environment in a completely new way, free from mechanical disturbance.
“The X Convertible Concept materialises the brand’s Athletic Elegance design philosophy in its purest form while emphasising the power of its emotional performance,” said SangYup Lee, Head of Hyundai & Genesis Global Design. “The X Convertible Concept completes the electric car concept trilogy by envisioning the future of Genesis design and inspiration. We will continue to explore new ways of creating the most immersive driving experiences and spaces in which customers can feel more connected to their car and surroundings.”
The Good Design Awards is bestowed annually by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. Founded in 1950, the prize honours the highest level of design excellence across more than 30 categories.
