Genesis introduced the X Speedium Coupe concept in April and now the company has shown its elegant interior. Unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the interior was created over the course of the past five months and embraces the Korean design principle known as the “beauty of white space.” The company went on to say this idea is inspired by Korean architecture and features a “reductive design” as well as a “minimalist and pure form language punctuated by strong design elements.”
Putting design philosophy aside, the
concept features an asymmetric, driver-oriented layout which sees controls and
displays surround the driver. This focus is amplified by a Pinegrove Green
driver’s seat, which stands in contrasts to the Monterey Gold color found
elsewhere. Genesis didn’t go into many specifics, but we can see a floating
center console and a curved OLED display.
The latter features a “center-mounted motor output indicator designed in
a ‘newtro’ style, which is a stark contrast to the RPM gauges found in ICE
models.” To the right, is a vertical infotainment system with an “optimized UI
design.”
Elsewhere, there’s quilted leather door
panels, two individual rear seats, and a leather-lined cargo compartment with
“X straps.” The model also has a
high-end audio system with aluminum tweeters that were “flawlessly crafted with
a precision milling method to optimize acoustic performance.”
Since the X Speedium Coupe was envisioned
as an EV, it comes as little surprise the cabin embraces a few eco-friendly
touches. In particular, there’s leather that was vegetable-tanned and processed
without chromium. The model also features upper “breathable grain leather,”
which requires less water and lower levels of chemicals to manufacture.
