Genesis Launches Magma Performance Line With GV60 as First Model

The luxury marque adapts Hyundai N technology for a 650-PS boost mode and track-focused features, with sales planned for 2026 and pricing yet to be announced.

Overview

  • Genesis unveiled the GV60 Magma in France as the debut model for its new Magma performance sub-brand, targeting a market launch in summer 2026 with pricing to follow.
  • The dual-motor EV is rated at 609 PS and 740 Nm, with a 15‑second Boost to 650 PS and 790 Nm; Genesis quotes a 264 km/h top speed, media cite just over three seconds to 100 km/h, and Genesis lists 10.9 seconds from 0–200 km/h.
  • Performance hardware and software include a Drift mode, a Virtual Gear Shift System with simulated shifts and torque cut, electronically controlled dampers, monoblock brake calipers, and launch control.
  • Distinctive Magma styling brings bright orange paint, widened fenders and 21‑inch wheels, while the cabin adds Chamude upholstery, orange stitching, and steering‑wheel buttons for drive modes and Boost.
  • Coverage notes the GV60 Magma draws on Hyundai’s Ioniq 5/6 N underpinnings, and Genesis also showed a Magma GT concept as a halo design study that hints at future motorsport ambitions without production details.
