Genesis Luxury EV Preparations Begin

There have been rumors that Genesis is working to make the X Convertible it showed off into a high-end production model.
According to Automotive News, the Genesis X Convertible is on its way to dealerships after the brand's chief creative officer, Luc Donckerwolke, said as much during a recent dealer gathering.
“When [Donckerwolke] said that at the dealer meeting — to say it in front of a couple of hundred Genesis dealers — that’s a pretty good sign,” [GNDA Council Chairman Peter] Lanzavecchia said. “I don’t know if it’s going to be over $200,000 or $300,000, but I guarantee we’re going see a lot of Bentley Continental convertible trade-ins on that when it comes to our showrooms,” he added.
“It would be a true halo flagship for the brand. And although sales volume might be extremely limited, I think production of that convertible would help put an exclamation point at the end of the sentence saying Genesis is a full real luxury brand.”
