Hot Genesis GV60 Magma Strips Off Ahead Of Imminent Reveal

Genesis GV60 Magma Reveals Production Styling

The Genesis GV60 was recently updated in several meaningful ways, but the upmarket sibling to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 still has no answer to that car’s N variant. Happily, that will be changing soon with the introduction of the GV60 Magma, which our spies have now captured with less concealing camouflage than ever before. The production bodywork now appears to have been finalized, and although there is still some vinyl hiding the full look, we can definitely see that this will stand out in a crowd. Even if ordered in a subtle shade like this nondescript grey, the Magma orange calipers give the crossover presence, as do the aero enhancements.

GV60 Looks Way Racier Than Ioniq 5 N

The Magma variant takes the narrow front side intakes and expands them to meet the lower central grille, which makes the headlights seem more aggressive despite carrying over unchanged from the regular GV60. The taillights also appear to be unaltered, and the rearview camera stalks are also unchanged from the GV60 sold in other markets (here, they’re not legal). The side skirts are more textured and chunkier, though, and on the tailgate, an aggressive wing with sharp endplates will ensure that the electric crossover grabs attention even when standing still. Finally, the rear fascia has a larger diffuser panel and the wheel arches bulge out a little further. With the exception of the wheels, this prototype looks almost identical to the GV60 Magma Concept revealed in New York last year.

The AMG-targeting Magma sub-brand’s GV60 will reportedly be built atop an 800-volt architecture that will enable ultra-fast charging speeds (on compatible chargers, of course). It will also be quick to get you from one place to another, with insiders suggesting that this will develop over 700 horsepower, beating not only the 641-hp Ioniq 5 N (with N Grin Boost enabled, 601 hp otherwise) but also established sports crossovers like the BMW X3 M, which develops 510 hp. We expect to learn the final figure and additional performance details next month at the Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 10-13), where the GV60 Magma is expected to be launched in production form. Expect it to reach dealerships towards the end of this year or early in 2026.
