With a 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and a range associated with ultra-fast charging, the Genesis GV60 Magma aims to compete with the benchmarks of the segment.
Genesis continues its development in Europe and France with the arrival of the GV60 Magma, the first model in its new sports lineup. Based on the electric SUV GV60, this model inaugurates a new vision of performance according to the Korean manufacturer, combining luxury, advanced technologies, and driving sensations. The Genesis GV60 Magma will be sold in France starting at 86,600 euros and available after the summer of 2026.
Under the hood, or rather under the floor, the GV60 Magma receives an electric powertrain developing up to 650 hp (478 kW) and 790 Nm of torque. Its electric motors, capable of reaching over 20,000 RPM, allow the Korean SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 264 km/h.
Power is provided by an 84 kWh battery, compatible with ultra-fast charging. Genesis claims a charge from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes, a significant advantage for long journeys.
An electric SUV designed for performance
Compared to the classic GV60, this Magma version adopts a more aggressive silhouette with a 20 mm lowered body, a wider track, and specific aerodynamic elements. A new rear bumper and a dedicated spoiler contribute to improving stability at high speeds.
The SUV sits on 21-inch forged wheels paired with Pirelli tires. The braking system has also been reinforced with monobloc calipers and optimized ABS, allowing the vehicle to come to a stop from 100 km/h in just 33.8 meters.
A premium and tech-savvy interior
Onboard, the Genesis GV60 Magma focuses on a high-end sporty atmosphere. Passengers are seated in synthetic suede bucket seats with electric adjustments, while the exclusive Magma finishes stand out with contrasting stitching and aluminum inserts.
The driver also benefits from a specific steering wheel that integrates the “Magma” button, which provides access to several dedicated driving modes, including Sprint and GT modes.
The equipment also includes a new 27-inch connected panoramic screen that combines instrumentation and multimedia system. Finally, the e-ASD (Electric Active Sound Design) system reproduces an immersive engine sound to enhance the driving sensations.
