Genesis GV60 Magma: High-Performance Electric SUV with 478 kW Boost and Sleek Design Enhancements
July 10, 2026
Genesis overhauled the chassis for Magma, including revised suspension geometry, stroke-sensing electronically controlled suspension, new front hydraulic bushings, and dual-layer rear crossmember bushings to improve handling.
Australian specifications mirror the 84 kWh battery and 478 kW peak power, with 790 Nm torque in Boost Mode and a 0-100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds.
The GV60 Magma delivers up to 478 kW and 790 Nm in Boost Mode, with standard dual motors at 448 kW and 740 Nm, enabling a 0-100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds via launch control, a 0-200 km/h time of 10.9 seconds, and a top speed of 264 km/h.
It shares its powertrain and an 84 kWh battery with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, and adds features like an electronic limited-slip differential and Virtual Gear Shift.
Visually, the GV60 Magma features low-profile tires and styling aligned with Genesis design while delivering performance improvements over the standard GV60.
Styling and aero enhancements give the Magma a wider, lower stance with a three-hole front bumper, canards, side skirts, a rear winglet spoiler, and 21-inch forged wheels; Magma Orange is the hero exterior color.
Exterior options include Magma Orange, Uyuni White, Saville Silver, Makalu Grey, Vik Black, Tromso Green, and Ceres Blue, with a matte finish available for an additional 4,000 AUD.
Compared with the standard GV60, Magma emphasizes a lower ride height, wider stance, rear diffuser, and 21-inch forged graphite wheels with 275mm P Zero tires, plus a distinctive rear spoiler and front spats.
Inside, the Magma edition offers a 27-inch OLED display, Chamude-trimmed power seats, a Magma-specific steering wheel, a three-dial performance display, head-up display, a 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, active road noise cancellation, digital rear-view mirror, Digital Key 2.0, and vehicle-to-load capability.
Magma interior accents feature orange highlights on Chamude upholstery, with exclusive Magma steering wheel and optional Ash White interior, plus laminated acoustic glass and reinforced sealing for reduced cabin noise.
Key interior elements include Chamude upholstery with orange/grey stitching, a Magma steering wheel, and a 27-inch Integrated Wide Display for instruments and infotainment.
Magma adds driving modes such as Sprint, GT, and MY, with features like Virtual Gear Shift, Drift Mode, High-Performance Battery Control, and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential for enhanced performance and stability.
