April 17, 20196 yr Genesis unveiled something very different at the New York International Auto Show this evening. It's their take on an electrified luxury city car. The jellybean like shape is supposed to evoke classic proportions while having a modern minimalistic appearance. It is a 2-door, 2 passenger car that has access to the rear storage area via a pair of scissor doors. Inside is similarly minimalistic and oblong. The dashboard is integrated directly into the steering wheel surrounded by 6 large control buttons. For those of you who miss having a bench seat, Genesis brings you hope. The high density battery is capable of a 200-mile range and 350-kWh fast charging. As this is a concept, don't expect it to go into production anytime soon, but Genesis is toying with electrification just like all the other brands and will likely be bringing an electric vehicle out soon.

April 17, 20196 yr As a concept, I like it. I didn't care for the rear 3/4 view, but the profile swayed the needle the other way. Reminds me of the Sunfire concept from the front 3/4 ~
April 17, 20196 yr Genesis brand is out of business soon if they don't get some crossovers on the market.
April 17, 20196 yr Very cool, love the rear access doors. Back side reminds me of a Juke, front side looking on reminds me of a better looking Tesla. I at first thought this could be a decent update to the Tesla look when you look head on. Love the electrification!
April 17, 20196 yr Very nice color choices. Love the fact it is a stick shift (3 pedals). And the bench seat. Other than that, it scores a zero.
April 17, 20196 yr Reminds me of an EV-1 from 20 years ago if it was allowed to fully evolve, except for those ridiculously huge wheels.

It is electric, no wasted need of a transmission. That third spot is only a foot rest, not a clutch silly blu! Tiny car in comparison to the ladies.
April 17, 20196 yr Maybe it's the high beam switch and not a clutch pedal. Or maybe it's for the starter.
