Genesis twins take aim at luxury CT market

GENESIS has revealed two stunning near-production concepts that preview just how serious the Korean brand is at lifting itself up to the level of Mercedes and BMW. Called the X Gran Coupe and X Gran Convertible, the pair are new derivatives of the full-sized G90 saloon sold in overseas markets, yet enter a segment that even the Germans have largely left behind.

The pair are similar in size to the former Mercedes S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet and BMW 8 Series, and push the brand into an exclusive, low-volume segment. While billed as concepts for now, the pair are close to production in terms of their execution, with functional door handles, lighting, mirrors and a retractable rear parking camera.

EARLIER this year my colleague Tom Jervis quite rightly pointed out that car wheels are simply getting too big, which is somewhat consistent with another wheel that car makers seemingly can’t stop fiddling with: the steering wheel.
