The GV60 Magma is an electric luxury rocket
The GV60 Magma is powered by two electric motors that, combined, produce 609 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque under normal driving conditions. Enabling Boost mode increases power to 650 horsepower and 583 pound-feet for 15 seconds. With Launch Control active, the 4,938-pound GV60 Magma can reach 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and 120 mph in 10.9 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 164 mph. The battery that powers the GV60 Magma is the same as in the 2026 Genesis GV60: an 84 kWh lithium-ion package.
Genesis made sure to include several high-end features including multiple driving modes such as Sprint, GT and a custom setting, an electronic LSD, electronic stability control and more. There’s also a Drift Mode feature that allows the luxury EV SUV to go sideways, as well as High-Performance Battery Control (HPBC) that optimizes battery temperature for peak performance when the GV60 Magma is pushed to its limits. To make the experience even more immersive, Genesis has kindly added a Virtual Gear Shift system, which adjusts engine power, torque and regenerative braking to simulate gear changes, while reproducing the sound of a high-revving engine to really give drivers the feeling of a fully engaged machine. This is similar to the feature found in the punchy Hyundai Ionic 5 N model, albeit with more width.
The understated performance design exudes a sense of raw sophistication
At first glance we can see the handiwork of Magma’s design team when it comes to performance, with the GV60 Magma sporting a lower, wider stance that both improves performance stability and gives it a more aggressive appearance. This is achieved by lowering the GV60’s ride height by 20 mm or 0.8 inches and integrating wide 275 mm tires. The bumpers, canards and side skirts have also been redesigned to incorporate Magma’s design ethos: “Athletic Elegance”, emphasizing subtle, untapped power through smooth, streamlined contours that conceal the model’s true capabilities. The updated bodywork is complemented by Magma-specific 21-inch forged wheels, fiery orange paint with black accents and various performance additions such as the rear spoiler and rear diffuser.
Calm luxury should not be missing from the powerful recipe
All performance enthusiasts considered, Genesis made sure to add a high level of calm and serenity to the experience rather than total pavement destruction. This is achieved via suspension tuning with a recalibrated roll center and more refined geometry. Electronic suspension and end-of-travel control systems help deliver that delicate balance between sharp, precise cornering and comfort. The serenity of the drive is further aided by Hydro G-Bushings in the front suspension and double-layer bushings in the rear crossmember, both of which minimize vibration and shock, while a combination of Active Noise Control-Road, sound-insulating glass and reinforced door seal ensures calm focus whatever the driving conditions.
Refinement of the interior takes the battle to the luxury elites
The GV60 Magma speaks more to the luxury of its interior and features a host of sleek, soft and plush additions that keep it firmly in the upmarket market, alongside names like Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and BMW. The seats, doors and center console feature Chamude, a synthetic suede-like material, while Magma-themed stitching, quilting and seat belts accentuate the monochrome design palette. A unique steering wheel and high-gloss/dark metal finished knobs and buttons help maintain the premium, yet sporty look of the exterior design. The GV60 Magma is expected to arrive on US soil in 2026, with pricing, as well as more Magma variants of the Genesis series, to follow at later dates.
