The Genesis line currently features the G90 luxury limo and the ...
... G80, which is a rebadged version of Hyundai's award-winning Genesis sedan.
The Genesis New York Concept likely foreshadows the company's upcoming entrant into the compact luxury segment.
Squarely in its crosshairs is the BMW 3-Series. The Bimmer has pretty much been the gold standard for the segment for the past 30 years.
The Genesis show car's eye-catching looks have won it quick critical acclaim.
Styling for Genesis is the responsibility of Luc Donckerwolke.
His resume includes 2015's Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6, as well as ...
... the best selling car in Lamborghini history, the Gallardo, and ...
... the Lamborghini Murcielago.
The front end design of the New York Concept is dominated by a large hexagonal grille that's becoming a signature feature on the brand's vehicles. In additional, the front fascia features dramatic air intakes with copper-colored accents and narrow headlights to give the car an added dose of aggression.
Sitting atop the front end of the car is the Bentley-esque Genesis badge.
The side profile of the Genesis concept is defined by a long hood and a sloping coupe roof line. The side gills right behind the front wheel are a particularly eye-catching feature.
The heavily curved rear-end gives the car a fastback look that's more common on classic sports cars.
Although attractive, it's highly unlikely these stylish wheels will make it into production.

Inside, the New York Concept is as futuristic as it is on the outside.
It's highlighted by a massive, curved, 21-inch, 4K display. There's also a 3D gesture control sensor that allows occupants to remotely move content from one area of the screen to another.
The New York Concept's interior features tan leather with additional copper accents.
The back seats feature a center divider creating a two-place rear cabin.
Under the hood is a 242-horsepower, 2.0-liter hybrid drive system coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
At this point, the New York Concept is just that — a concept. However, the overall look of the car seems to be pretty transferable to production. With Genesis hinting at a whole slew of new models in the pipeline, it's likely we'll see some version of this gorgeous concept car in the near future.
