Looking Back At Genesis' Cutest And Most Outrageous Concept Car
Designed around city living, the Mint brings luxury on a small scale Cast your mind back to 2019, with no idea of what was to come, the world was quietly optimistic about entering the 2020s. Before city life as we know it was swiftly dismantled, Genesis unveiled its Mint concept, a two-seater compact luxury model aimed at taking the stress out of city driving. Although it's not made its way into production, glimpses of the concept have appeared in things like the GV60's crystal ball feature. To find out what made the Mint so special and such a step away from the rest of the brand's lineup, I spoke with Luc Donckerwolke, Chief Creative Officer and President of Hyundai Motor Group. It may be small in stature but it's pocket-sized luxury Trinity Francis: What was the initial brief for the Mint concept? Luc Donckerwolke: The brief was to demonstrate that luxury is not linked to size. To the contrary. Size imposes limitations. Genesis should make evident that our Son-nim, our honored guests, can be treated to the highest level of refinement, technological advancement and groundbreaking design regardless of size. Francis: How did you maximize interior space? Donckerwolke: The flat floor of the electric platform allowed a better distribution of the furniture to optimize ergonomics—in the spirit of Alec Issigonis when he created the original Mini. The interior is structured like a living space, with a sofa and an instrument panel that both rotate around their middle axis to facilitate ingress and egress. There is no big screen, rather circular digital touchscreens surround the steering wheel to allow instinctive commands without losing sight of the road or contact with the steering wheel. Usually scissor doors make a statement on supercars but Genesis decided to reinvent the idea. Francis: Can you explain the design process behind the rear reverse-opening scissor doors? Donckerwolke: The concept was created while observing the illogical approach to accessing a vehicle's cargo area—the user having to go first to the rear of the vehicle, leaving the sidewalk to deposit his or her shopping bags, and then return to the side to enter the vehicle. A side trunk access through scissor doors that do not intrude on the sidewalk is therefore practical and logical. Francis: How was technology integrated into the interior design? Donckerwolke: The vehicle features every function a driver needs, but the displays are unobtrusive. The small gauge cluster sits within the steering wheel itself, further augmenting the perception of space, and the six small readouts—finished in copper to allude to the vehicle's electric power source—around the steering wheel added a high-end, luxurious aspect to the concept's interior design. The interior matches minimalism with ease of use Francis: Can you explain the interior and exterior colour choices? Donckerwolke: The matt mint green and cognac leather colorways are a nod towards traditional luxury cars but done in a more modern and fashionable way. The Mint's diminutive size is already a step away from tradition—most luxury cars are quite a bit larger—but we sought to accentuate the modernity of the concept by playing with more contemporary colors. Francis: How has it (or not) influenced Genesis production models since and why? Donckerwolke: Concept cars like the Mint are designed to communicate the design philosophy and the design elements to the audience. The quad lamps that transport the brand's Two Lines signature and the G-Matrix graphics—first seen on the Essentia concept but also repeated in the interior of the Mint—were carried over into production, as was the parabolic line on the side and the concave section at the rear of the car. At their core, concept and show cars allow us to push the envelope, experiment, and see what is possible. It allowed the design team to escape their comfort zones and devise solutions—such as the rear doors—that are truly fresh and innovative. The charging port is located just above the Genesis lettering at the rear Francis: Were there any inspirations that influenced the design? If so, what were these and why were they influential? Donckerwolke: The Mint concept was one of the first instances where we showcased our Beauty of White Space interior design philosophy. This is derived from a Korean aesthetic, in which design is pared back and minimalistic, accentuating certain details but leaving space between these elements to bring a sense of calmness to the cabin. European furniture also utilizes the concept of minimalism to great effect, emphasizing clean lines to avoid clutter and focus on the essential. Craftsmanship is another aspect that is visible in both cultures; this is represented in high-quality materials such as the cognac leather and gunmetal balustrade. Francis: What is your favourite element of the design and why? Donckerwolke: My favorite aspects of the design are its atypical three-box typology and the clean, uncluttered, and genuinely luxurious cabin. We achieved this by looking at what modern city dwellers value in their daily lives and home décor and devised an appealing product that is very much aligned with Genesis' values as a brand. For now, we'll have to wait and see if the Mint ever materializes in a production form Francis: What were the key challenges in this project? Donckerwolke: Some of the key challenges were to get internals to appreciate that luxury could be found in small packages. That is not typically the case. When luxury buyers look to a vehicle purchase these are often very large vehicles that have a big footprint. Traditionally this conveys status, which is synonymous with luxury. We had to turn that preconceived notion on its head to develop a car that blends classic proportions with modern, minimalist, and luxurious design but that is compact enough to fit in modern day metropolises. Francis: Are we likely to see any Mint-like concepts or a production Mint from Genesis in the future? Donckerwolke: Stay tuned.

Hot Genesis GV60 Magma Strips Off Ahead Of Imminent Reveal
Genesis GV60 Magma Reveals Production Styling The Genesis GV60 was recently updated in several meaningful ways, but the upmarket sibling to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 still has no answer to that car's N variant. Happily, that will be changing soon with the introduction of the GV60 Magma, which our spies have now captured with less concealing camouflage than ever before. The production bodywork now appears to have been finalized, and although there is still some vinyl hiding the full look, we can definitely see that this will stand out in a crowd. Even if ordered in a subtle shade like this nondescript grey, the Magma orange calipers give the crossover presence, as do the aero enhancements. 2025 Ford Maverick: 4 reasons to love it, 2 reasons to think twice Watch More GV60 Looks Way Racier Than Ioniq 5 N The Magma variant takes the narrow front side intakes and expands them to meet the lower central grille, which makes the headlights seem more aggressive despite carrying over unchanged from the regular GV60. The taillights also appear to be unaltered, and the rearview camera stalks are also unchanged from the GV60 sold in other markets (here, they're not legal). The side skirts are more textured and chunkier, though, and on the tailgate, an aggressive wing with sharp endplates will ensure that the electric crossover grabs attention even when standing still. Finally, the rear fascia has a larger diffuser panel and the wheel arches bulge out a little further. With the exception of the wheels, this prototype looks almost identical to the GV60 Magma Concept revealed in New York last year. GV60 Magma To Be Revealed Next Month The AMG-targeting Magma sub-brand's GV60 will reportedly be built atop an 800-volt architecture that will enable ultra-fast charging speeds (on compatible chargers, of course). It will also be quick to get you from one place to another, with insiders suggesting that this will develop over 700 horsepower, beating not only the 641-hp Ioniq 5 N (with N Grin Boost enabled, 601 hp otherwise) but also established sports crossovers like the BMW X3 M, which develops 510 hp. We expect to learn the final figure and additional performance details next month at the Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 10-13), where the GV60 Magma is expected to be launched in production form. Expect it to reach dealerships towards the end of this year or early in 2026. About the Author Sebastian Cenizo View Profile

New Genesis GV60 turns from Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde
Genesis is becoming the king of the blink-and-you'll-miss-it update. Its GV60 hatchback is the latest model to get an almost invisible nip and tuck. However, look beyond the minimal makeover and Genesis has boosted the GV60's dynamics with the aim of turning this mild-mannered machine into a super fast, drifting hot hatchback. Like its sister cars from the Hyundai family, the GV60 sits on the company E-GMP platform that has been updated to accommodate a larger 84kWh battery – up from 77kWh on the old GV60. That means a decent range bump – now up to a claimed maximum of 348 miles, a handy increase of 27 miles over the old car. What hasn't changed is the 10 to 80 per cent charging time of 18 minutes at charging speeds up to 240kW. It's the character of the GV60 that has changed the most, which is hinted at by a 0-62mph time of 4 seconds (unchanged from the previous model) using Genesis' now-familiar boost button on the steering wheel. However, the paddles behind the steering wheel – which used to adjust the brake generation – now have a naughty secret. Pull them both towards you at the same time and you'll unlock Drift Mode, turning the car into a demon drifter that you'll be able to use for lurid slides (on a suitable circuit, of course). The GV60 has clearly been taught a thing or two by the sporty Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. There's now a virtual gearshift that simulates the behaviour of a conventional gearbox using the paddles. New four-pot brakes are now standard across the range, while an electronic Limited Slip Differential and four-wheel drive can also be specified for greater traction out of corners. In spite of the newfound sense of fun, the GV60 has retained its premium looks – this still doesn't look like a sports car. New bumpers and the front and rear will be spotted by the eagle-eyed, while a new version of Genesis' two-line headlamps are probably more noticeable – just. There's now colour-coding on the wheel arches, bumper inserts and rear diffuser along with new alloy wheel designs and one new colour – Tromso Green Metallic – among the 14 options. Inside you'll spot the new 27in panel across the dash that merges the driver display and infotainment, while there's a new three-spoke steering wheel, heated, of course. Thankfully the show-stopping revolving Crystal Sphere gear selector remains in the centre console between the front seats. The Bang & Olufsen audio system has had an invisible upgrade, too – it still has 17 speakers but now features Dolby Atmos for an enhanced sound experience. There's also a new digital rear-view mirror, while some of the other tech has been improved and will continue to get updated through a new over-the-air update system. Prices have yet to be confirmed for the new GV60, but Genesis retailers will be taking orders from 1 July.
