    The three models not only share the architecture and powertrain setup but also have similar design cues. The latest EV looks completely stunning with a long bonnet and a short front overhang. These are paired with the unique quad-LED lights forming an LED border of the crest grille. We can also find similar quad lights on the rear and a distinctive boot lid inspired by the crest and wings of the brand’s logo.

    The EV features air intakes on the front bumper to keep the powertrain and batteries cool. On the sides lie the special wheels boasting a concave design with a G-Matrix pattern.

    Offering an unhindered view of the sky is a folding hardtop, which also incorporates a moon roof above the front passengers when the top is closed. The car is sprayed with a bright white exterior finish, inspired by the white crane. According to the automaker, it indicates sanctity and nobility in South Korea.

We are in the process of transitioning Genesis into a company that will deliver products for customers to enjoy.”
