Английская Википедия:Genesis Mint
Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox automobile The Genesis Mint is a concept car made by Genesis Motor, the luxury subdivision of Hyundai Motor Company. It is a battery electric vehicle with limited range and seating, targeting the market for a luxurious city car. Unlike typical small city cars, it does not feature a rear hatch, instead offering access to its cargo space through scissor doors mounted on each side.
Design
The Mint concept vehicle debuted at Hudson Yards in April 2019,[1] ahead of the New York International Auto Show;[2] it was designed by a worldwide team led by Luc Donckerwolke,[3] the first EV shown by Genesis.[4] The debut event was accompanied by a fashion show featuring designs from Prabal Gurung.[5]
It incorporates several elements of the Genesis corporate design language, including "G-Matrix" (a rhombus/lattice pattern used on the battery floor, wheel spokes, and throughout the interior), quad lamps (both front and rear), the "Crest Grille" (a wide hexagonal shape in front, with a reduced opening reflecting the car's electric powertrain), and "Parabolic Line" profile.[2][3] Other styling details include a coupe-like profile, large Шаблон:Cvt wheels, and lower air vents around the car.[6][7] The car's name is derived from its color, which was finished in matte green.[2]
The Mint has a single leather-covered bench seat for the driver and a single passenger; access to the cargo area behind it is through two scissor doors, one on each side of the car, hinged at their rear edges.[2] The seat and dashboard are powered, moving aside to aid entry and exit.[2][3] The car's main screen is embedded within the steering wheel, and the driving mode selector is a spherical control embedded in the seat's flip-down center armrest; the control rotates to become a switch when the car is on, and becomes a decorative element when the car is off. The door locks and windows are controlled through similar rotating spherical controls in the car's two passenger doors.[6]
Details about the battery electric powertrain were not made public, but Genesis stated the car has a range of Шаблон:Cvt and can charge at rates up to 350 kW.[6] It uses a skateboard-style chassis, with the battery underneath the floor of the car.[8] The charging port is located in the center of the car's rear exterior.[2] Sangyup Lee also claimed the concept was equipped with an advanced driver-assistance system capable of Level 3.5 or 4 automation.[3]
