The 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma produces 641 horsepower in Boost mode and accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 3.4 seconds.
Genesis designed the 2027 GV60 Magma with a performance-tuned suspension, wider 21-inch wheels, larger brakes, and an inch-lower ride height for enhanced handling.
Production of the Genesis GV60 Magma begins in Q2 2027 with pricing expected between $74,000-$76,000.
Genesis has taken a decisive step into the high-performance luxury market with its latest announcement at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The introduction of the Genesis GV60 Magma isn't simply an upgrade to existing models.
It represents the launch of an entirely new performance philosophy for the Korean luxury brand.
The Birth of a Performance Brand: Genesis Magma
The Magma name carries significant weight for Genesis. Rather than following the traditional route of aggressive styling and raw power, this new sub-brand takes a more sophisticated approach. The concept centers on what Genesis describes as "Luxury High Performance". This is a fusion of refinement and capability that prioritizes driver connection over outright numbers. This philosophy builds upon Genesis' existing "Athletic Elegance" design language but pushes it further into performance territory. Future models are already in development, with concept versions of the Genesis GV80 and Genesis G80 having been revealed. This suggests the Magma treatment will eventually reach across the entire model range.
Power and Speed: The Numbers That Matter
Electric performance delivers instant gratification, and the 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma capitalizes on this characteristic. The dual-motor configuration sends power to all four wheels, producing 601 horsepower and 546 lb-ft of torque. Activate Boost mode via the steering wheel button, and those figures climb to 641 horsepower and 583 lb-ft for 15-second bursts. To put this in perspective, the standard Genesis GV60 Performance variant generates 429 horsepower, making the Magma 167 horsepower stronger. This translates to real-world performance: the sprint to 60 mph takes just 3.4 seconds, while reaching 124 mph requires only 10.9 seconds. An intriguing addition borrowed from the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is the Virtual Gear Shift System. This technology simulates the experience of driving a combustion-powered sports car.
Engineering Excellence: Chassis Development
Performance extends far beyond straight-line acceleration. Genesis engineers focused extensively on handling dynamics for the 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma variant. The electronically controlled suspension received comprehensive updates, including revised geometry, roll center modifications, and improved end-of-travel control. Vibration management comes through hydro bushings at the front and dual-layer bushings in the rear crossmember. These components reduce harshness while preserving the responsive feel expected from a performance vehicle. The ride height drops nearly an inch compared to standard Genesis GV60 models. Grip levels increase substantially thanks to wider 21-inch wheels fitted with Pirelli tires sized at 275mm. It was developed specifically for this application.
Aesthetic Restraint: Design Philosophy
Genesis deliberately avoided the aggressive styling typically associated with performance vehicles. Instead, the 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma communicates its capabilities through subtle but purposeful changes. The lowered stance immediately distinguishes it from standard models, while a functional rear wing provides genuine aerodynamic benefit rather than existing purely for show. Chrome trim disappears entirely, replaced by gloss black components and dark metal accents throughout. This creates a more cohesive, performance-oriented appearance without resorting to flashy body kits or excessive venting.
Interior Experience: Form Meets Function
Step inside and you'll find bucket seats trimmed in orange (the signature Magma color) combined with titanium grey. Nappa leather and Chamude suede-like material provide both luxury and grip. Orange and grey threading, trim pieces, and display themes continue the color scheme throughout the cabin. The distinctive Crystal Sphere shift mechanism remains, rotating to reveal the shift dial upon startup. This theatrical element, unique to the Genesis GV60 across Genesis' lineup, adds personality to the driving experience. A 27-inch curved OLED display dominates the dashboard, merging the instrument cluster and touchscreen into one continuous interface. Genesis GV60 Magma-specific display themes emphasize performance metrics, showing real-time data on power delivery, g-forces, lap times, and other relevant information for enthusiastic driving.
Technology Integration
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard in the 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma. The MyGenesis app simplifies public charging by enabling plug-and-play functionality at compatible stations. Dynamic route planning incorporates charging station information, helping drivers locate appropriate fast chargers along their journey. Voice recognition capabilities have expanded, allowing more functions to be controlled through conversational commands.
Range and Charging Considerations
Performance priorities naturally impact efficiency. The 84-kWh battery pack, shared with standard Genesis GV60 models, powers the Magma's enhanced output. While the 429-horsepower Genesis GV60 Performance achieves 252 miles of EPA-estimated range, expect the 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma to deliver somewhere between 240-250 miles under typical conditions. Charging capability partially offsets range concerns. Connected to a 350kW DC fast charger, the battery replenishes from 10 percent to 80 percent in approximately 18 minutes.
Safety Standards
Despite its performance focus, safety remains a priority. The 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma earned five out of five stars overall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded it the top Good rating in crash testing. Standard safety systems include:
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
Lane Following Assist
Highway Driving Assist
Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
Forward Attention Warning
Ownership Benefits
