The exterior of the X Gran Equator Concept emphasizes simplicity and strength. Its sleek silhouette, defined by a fast C-pillar and dark wheel-arch cladding, balances aesthetic sophistication with off-road readiness. Geometric auxiliary lamps and the brand’s Two-Line headlamps add a distinctive flair, while the split-opening tailgate and integrated roof rails prioritize functionality.
Inside, the cabin harmonizes analog and digital elements. The four-circle display cluster, inspired by vintage camera dials, anchors the dashboard, while swiveling front seats and modular storage cater to practicality. The linear, uncluttered design fosters a driver-focused experience, with contrasting colors and geometric shapes creating a modern, evocative space.

Named after Equator, a renowned Arabian horse, the concept embodies endurance, agility, and refined power. While not yet confirmed for production, the X Gran Equator Concept showcases Genesis’ vision for versatile, luxurious vehicles. It will be on display at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center starting April 18, 2025, and later at Genesis House in New York’s Meatpacking District, inviting enthusiasts to explore its innovative design.
