Remember Genesis X Convertible concept from the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show? The sleek and luxurious convertible from the Hyundai-owned premium car brand seems to be gearing up to enter production. Automotive News reports that Genesis intends to produce the X Convertible concept. However, no specific timeframe for producing the luxury convertible has been disclosed. Also, it has been speculated that the halo car would come with a sticker price between $200,000-$300,000.

Genesis' chief creative officer Luc Donckerwolke reportedly discussed the car's production plan in the automaker's annual general meeting. Speaking about that, Peter Lanzavecchia, the chairman of the Genesis National Dealer Advisory Council, said to the publication that when Donckerwolke talked about the car's production at the dealer meeting in front of a couple of thousand Genesis dealers, that is a pretty good sign. However, Genesis remained tight-lipped officially about the development.
