Observations are emerging that Genesis's flagship two-door models, the "Genesis X Gran Coupe" and "X Gran Convertible," are moving beyond mere concept cars toward actual production in Yangsan. Recently, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) successively approved distinctive design patents for both models, further heightening expectations for the brand's launch of its luxury coupe and convertible lineup.

According to industry sources, the USPTO officially registered design patents for the Genesis X Gran Convertible and X Gran Coupe in August. The X Gran Convertible was approved on August 4, and the X Gran Coupe on August 25. Both patents were confirmed to have been processed based on priority claims from domestic applications filed in March 2025.

The designs revealed in the newly disclosed patent drawings faithfully carry forward the beautiful identity of the previously unveiled concept cars. Based on a long hood and a cabin silhouette pushed rearward, Genesis's signature dual-line headlights and crest grille remain fully intact. Specifically, the coupe model maximizes sportiness with a sleek fastback-style roof and dynamic decklid elements, while the convertible model is equipped with a soft top that conveys the emotional appeal of open-air driving.

The most eye-catching feature is the clearly defined exhaust design positioned at the rear. Unlike the initial Genesis X Concept series, which debuted exclusively as all-electric vehicles (EVs), these patent drawings explicitly depict functional exhaust outlets, drawing attention. This has led to analysis suggesting that future production models may not be limited to pure EVs but could also incorporate internal combustion engines or high-performance hybrid powertrains. However, it is difficult to conclude definitively that the actual powertrain has been finalized solely based on design patent registration.

Acquiring a design patent does not necessarily confirm immediate production. Nevertheless, the fact that the brand's iconic coupe and convertible models have each been patented in concrete forms serves as clear evidence that Genesis's two-door flagship plans remain very much alive.
