New Genesis GV60 Magma
The New Genesis GV60 Magma: A New Era of High-Performance Luxury
Meet the Genesis GV60 Magma at Genesis of White Plains
Genesis is taking its performance ambitions to an entirely new level with the introduction of the Genesis GV60 Magma, the brand’s first high-performance production vehicle.
Combining the sophisticated design and luxury of the Genesis GV60 with significant performance enhancements, the GV60 Magma represents the beginning of a new chapter for Genesis—one where electric performance, luxury, technology, and driving excitement come together in one vehicle.
The GV60 Magma is part of the Genesis Magma performance program, which was introduced to bring a more dynamic and performance-focused character to the Genesis lineup.
For drivers in Westchester County looking for an electric luxury vehicle that offers considerably more than everyday transportation, the GV60 Magma represents a compelling new option.
Genesis of White Plains is proud to be an official Genesis Magma Sales & Service facility, giving local customers access to the latest Genesis performance vehicle and specialized Magma expertise.
What Is the Genesis GV60 Magma?
The Genesis GV60 Magma is a high-performance version of the GV60, Genesis’ dedicated electric vehicle.
Rather than simply adding more power to the standard GV60, Genesis developed the Magma with a broader focus on performance. The vehicle incorporates changes to its powertrain, chassis, suspension, braking, aerodynamics, driving modes, exterior design, and interior to create a more engaging driving experience.
Genesis describes the GV60 Magma as a vehicle that combines its Athletic Elegance design philosophy with high-performance engineering.
The result is an electric luxury SUV designed to provide the refinement expected from Genesis while adding the responsiveness and performance characteristics associated with a dedicated performance vehicle.
How Much Power Does the GV60 Magma Have?
The Genesis GV60 Magma uses dual high-performance electric motors capable of producing up to 641 horsepower in the U.S. Genesis lists a maximum output of 478 kW and an estimated 0–60 mph time of just 3.4 seconds.
That level of performance puts the GV60 Magma firmly into high-performance territory.
Electric motors also provide immediate torque, allowing the GV60 Magma to deliver strong acceleration without the delay associated with traditional gasoline-powered turbocharged engines.
For drivers accustomed to conventional performance vehicles, the combination of instant electric torque and all-wheel-drive traction creates a very different approach to performance.
What Makes the GV60 Magma Different From the Regular GV60?
The standard GV60 is already designed as a premium electric vehicle with distinctive styling, advanced technology, and strong performance.
The GV60 Magma takes those characteristics considerably further.
Genesis engineered the Magma around several performance-focused areas, including:
- Higher-output electric motors
- Performance-oriented suspension tuning
- Larger brakes
- Performance-focused chassis tuning
- Specialized driving modes
- Enhanced thermal management
- Performance-oriented exterior design
- Sport-focused interior details
- Electronic limited-slip differential technology
- Performance-oriented steering and handling characteristics
The objective isn’t simply to make the GV60 faster. Genesis designed the Magma to create a more engaging relationship between the driver and the vehicle.
Genesis Magma Mode
One of the most distinctive features of the GV60 Magma is Magma Mode.
This performance-focused driving mode changes the vehicle’s behavior to emphasize a more dynamic driving experience.
Genesis has developed Magma Mode to integrate the vehicle’s powertrain, chassis, steering, braking, and electronic systems in a coordinated performance setting.
The system works together with other GV60 Magma technologies to give drivers greater control over how the vehicle responds.
Genesis has also developed an e-ASD+ system designed to provide a more engaging sound experience and enhance the driver’s perception of acceleration and performance.
A Performance EV Designed to Be Driven
The GV60 Magma isn’t designed solely around straight-line acceleration.
Genesis focused heavily on the vehicle’s overall driving dynamics.
Performance enhancements include specialized suspension tuning, increased braking capability, improved body control, and systems designed to help manage the significant power generated by the dual electric motors.
The vehicle’s performance systems are designed to work together so that acceleration, cornering, braking, and steering feel connected rather than functioning as isolated features.
That philosophy is an important part of what makes the Magma program different from simply adding a high-output electric motor to an existing vehicle.
GV60 Magma Battery and Charging
The GV60 Magma uses an 84.0-kWh battery.
Genesis lists a U.S. estimated range of up to 222 miles and says the vehicle can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 18 minutes when connected to a 350-kW/800-volt DC ultra-fast charger.
Actual range and charging times can vary depending on driving conditions, temperature, charging equipment, battery condition, and other factors.
For performance-oriented drivers, the ability to add substantial range relatively quickly can make the GV60 Magma more practical for longer trips while still delivering the performance expected from a high-performance EV.
Distinctive GV60 Magma Design
You won’t mistake the GV60 Magma for an ordinary electric SUV.
Genesis gave the vehicle a more aggressive appearance designed to communicate its performance capabilities.
Magma-specific design elements include:
- Wider body proportions
- More aggressive front-end styling
- Performance-focused aerodynamic elements
- Distinctive Magma exterior details
- Larger performance wheels
- Performance-oriented tires
- Lower visual stance
- Sport-focused interior design
- Distinctive Magma colors and finishes
The design remains recognizably Genesis while introducing a more aggressive interpretation of the brand’s Athletic Elegance philosophy.
A Luxury Interior With a Performance Focus
Inside, the GV60 Magma combines Genesis craftsmanship with details designed specifically for a performance vehicle.
The cabin incorporates sport-oriented seating, performance-focused materials, distinctive Magma design elements, and technology designed to keep the driver connected to the vehicle.
The goal is to maintain the sense of luxury that Genesis owners expect while creating an environment that feels appropriate for a high-performance vehicle.
This combination is central to the Genesis Magma philosophy:
Performance without sacrificing luxury.
What Is Genesis Magma?
Genesis Magma is more than a trim level.
It represents Genesis’ broader high-performance vehicle program, created to explore how the brand can combine its luxury design philosophy with greater driving performance.
Genesis introduced the Magma program in 2024, alongside the original GV60 Magma Concept. The production GV60 Magma subsequently became the first production model to bring the Magma philosophy to the road.
Genesis has also established Genesis Magma Racing, its motorsport program competing in endurance racing. While the road-going GV60 Magma and the racing program serve different purposes, motorsport provides Genesis with another environment in which to develop and demonstrate its performance philosophy.
Is the GV60 Magma a Luxury Vehicle or a Performance Vehicle?
It’s both.
The GV60 Magma is designed to combine:
Genesis luxury
+
Electric performance
+
Advanced technology
+
Performance-focused engineering
That’s what makes the vehicle particularly interesting.
Drivers don’t have to choose between a premium luxury experience and a performance-oriented EV.
The GV60 Magma is designed to deliver both.
Who Is the Genesis GV60 Magma For?
The GV60 Magma may be particularly appealing to drivers who:
- Want an electric performance vehicle
- Prefer an SUV or crossover body style
- Want significant acceleration and performance
- Appreciate luxury materials and craftsmanship
- Want distinctive styling
- Are interested in emerging EV technology
- Want something different from traditional luxury performance brands
- Don’t want to sacrifice comfort for performance
- Want an EV that can be exciting to drive
It may also appeal to existing Genesis owners who want to move into a significantly more performance-focused vehicle without leaving the Genesis brand.
How Does the GV60 Magma Compare With Other Performance EVs?
The GV60 Magma enters an increasingly competitive performance EV market.
Its approach is somewhat different from many traditional performance EVs because Genesis is combining luxury craftsmanship, distinctive design, electric performance, and driver-focused engineering rather than positioning the vehicle strictly as a technology product or a high-performance machine.
For shoppers comparing the GV60 Magma with other luxury performance EVs, important considerations include:
- Horsepower
- Acceleration
- Driving range
- Charging speed
- Handling
- Interior quality
- Technology
- Ride comfort
- Exterior design
- Warranty and ownership experience
- Dealer support
