Overview
- Genesis publicly introduced the Magma performance sub‑brand and the GV60 Magma on Thursday, May 28, 2026, making the model available to order at a starting price of €85,990.
- Genesis says the GV60 Magma uses two motors for up to 478 kW (reported as 650 PS) with a 0–100 km/h sprint in just over three seconds and a 264 km/h top speed.
- The car is built on Hyundai N hardware with an 84 kWh 800‑volt battery that Genesis claims will give about 450 km of range and support up to 260 kW fast charging.
- Genesis has added software and sensory features to shape the driving feel, including artificial engine sound, a virtual gearbox with simulated shift interruptions, multiple driving programs and a Drift‑Mode; AUTO BILD reports a 15‑second Overdrive that may temporarily raise power from a reported 607 PS baseline to 650 PS.
- Early road tests praise the Magma for pairing genuine performance with Genesis luxury trim and a more 'emotional' EV driving experience, and the launch signals a direct challenge to European performance arms while leaving some technical details and manufacturer claims open for further verification.
