Genesis says it selected the letter X to signify a “hidden hero,” no matter which means. Whereas the identify is not horrible, it does not roll off the tongue nicely, and nor does it match the present Genesis naming scheme with G for sedans and GV for crossovers and SUVs. If Genesis does construct a flagship Grand Touring automobile, we might assume that one of many firm’s trademarked names can be used. Potential names at present registered embrace GT70, GC70, GT90, and GC90.

Whereas the GT names make sense as a result of the automobile can be a Grand Tourer, we predict there are too many fashions in the marketplace with GT of their identify, together with the Mustang GT, Ford GT, AMG GT, and extra. It is completely doable that Genesis may introduce an reasonably priced sports activities automobile referred to as the GC70, however we predict the GC90 identify appears extra applicable for the flagship mannequin within the firm’s portfolio. So that is what we’ll name it for now.
