Genesis GV60 Magma Nearly Ready to Join the EV Power Wars
Genesis is dead serious about its Magma sub-brand. The performance division, set to rival heavyweights like Mercedes-AMG and BMW M Performance, made its presence known last year in New York, with the GV60 Magma and GV80 Magma concepts. And to cement its credentials, Genesis will also race at the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship with the GMR-001 Hypercar. But before that happens, the production version of the GV60 Magma will first set foot on the global stage. The go-fast electric crossover has recently been spotted wearing thinner camouflage for the first time, revealing more exciting details ahead of its grand debut. The GV60 Magma prototype that you see here tries hard to hide its bright orange paint, but it's evident on the antenna fin and on the brake calipers. And we can also see features that we can expect to find on the production unit. Off the bat, the polarizing twin lighting fixtures, front and back, are present. The bumpers are more aggressive, too, compared to the standard GV60, plus the spoiler appears to be different, albeit less aggressive than what's found on the concept. We can't comment on the black wheels for now as they seem to be placeholders, but hiding behind them are the bright orange brake calipers to match the body paint. Production specs of the GV60 Magma aren't definite at this point, though insider information reveals that it will have an 800-volt electrical architecture that allows ultra-fast charging. Output, on the other hand, is expected to go over 700 horsepower, which should be more than what its Hyundai twin, the brilliant Ioniq 5 N, produces. In terms of battery, sources say that the GV60 will be equipped with an 84 kWh battery pack that's good for 278 miles based on the more forgiving WLTC standard. This figure will, of course, go down if the GV60 reaches the US and goes through EPA testing. Genesis hasn't announced a specific date for the GV60 Magma's grand debut. However, reports point us to a launch later in the year, just in time for the red-hot performance EV to be offered as a 2026 model year. Given this timeline, we expect to catch the GV60 Magma prototype more while testing on the road, perhaps giving us more information about its much-anticipated electric firepower.

Genesis GV60 Magma spied: Heated up electric SUV takes shape
Genesis is about to launch its Magma performance sub-brand, and the first cab off the rank is a hotted up version of the GV60 small electric SUV. Spotted outside the Nurburgring in Germany, this prototype has a new, more aggressive front fascia with larger air intakes and sculpted surrounds that look very similar to the front clip of the 2024 GV60 Magma concept car. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The Magma's tracks might be a little wider than other GV60 variants, but the hulking wheel-arch extensions of the concept are nowhere to be seen on the prototype. That said, there seem to be little ducts tucked into the trailing edge of the front wheel-arches. At the back the Magma has a larger-than-regular spoiler at the base of the windscreen but, again, it's nowhere near as wild as the unit fitted to last year's concept car. Drivetrain details have yet to be revealed, but it's possible the GV60 Magma will share a lot in common with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N as both cars rides on the Korean automaker's e-GMP architecture. The Ioniq 5 N has a dual-motor all-wheel drive system making a total of 478kW of power and 770Nm of torque It is capable of completing the 0-100km/h dash in a claimed 3.4 seconds, and driven more sedately the 84kWh battery pack provides a driving range of 448km according to the WLTP standard. Currently the most powerful variant of the GV60 range boasts 360kW and 700Nm. With the GV60 Magma set to launch in South Korea from the fourth quarter of this year, we won't have to wait too long to find out the details. According to Mike Song, global chief of the Genesis brand, it should arrive in Australia from the first quarter of 2026. The rest of the Genesis range will also gain Magma variants, all of which will arrive in Australia at some stage, with the exception of the flagship G90 sedan, which isn't available in right-hand drive. So far Genesis has revealed Magma concept versions of the GV80 large SUV and G80 large sedan.
