The first high-performance Genesis model is coming soon
GV60 Magma Testing Completed
Genesis has announced the completion of validation testing for its high-performance electric crossover, the GV60 Magma, paving the way for its official launch later this year.
Extreme testing conditions
While details remain limited, the automaker said the vehicle has proven its reliability in some of the world’s harshest environments. Prototypes were tested in Aarhus, Sweden, for low-temperature testing, and at a California proving ground for power, cooling efficiency and thermal protection.
Engineers evaluated chassis precision, traction stability, brake reliability and maneuverability on icy terrain.
In New Zealand, the crossover was tested at an altitude of over 1,500 meters, and in Korea, on the Inje Spadium track, where the model demonstrated its maximum capabilities.
Design and technical features
After intensive testing, Genesis promises a combination of exciting performance and comfort. The official teaser with a camouflaged prototype confirms an aggressive front fascia with three oval air intakes, a new bumper with a larger intake imitation, skid plates and a sports brake system with orange calipers. The rear part received a spoiler, and in general the model should look similar to the GV60 Magma concept presented in 2024.
Expected specifications
Although there are no official data, it is assumed that the crossover will inherit technologies from the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and Kia EV6 GT. We are talking about an 84 kWh battery, a dual-motor all-wheel drive system with a capacity of about 641 hp and 769 Nm of torque. The estimated range may be 372 km, and full information will be available in the coming weeks.
The development of the GV60 Magma marks an important step for Genesis in the direction of high-performance electric models that combine innovation with endurance. This model can become a key player in the market, competing with other premium electric vehicles, thanks to its unique design and proven technical solutions.
