Genesis GV60 Magma

Overview

The GV60 Magma is the performance version of the Genesis GV60. The official page gives it a dual motor Magma all-wheel-drive system, an 84.0 kWh SK On lithium-ion battery and a combined range of 346 km.

Power and chassis

Peak output is 478 kW, split between a 175 kW front motor and a 303 kW rear motor, with maximum torque of 790 Nm. The page lists an electronically controlled suspension that is exclusive to the Magma, a Hydro G-Bushing at the front and a dual-layer bushing at the rear. Aerodynamic parts aim to add downforce, including a rear winglet-style spoiler, a bumper and side skirts. The car rides on 21-inch forged wheels in matte graphite grey with Pirelli P Zero 5 summer tyres in size 275/35R21.

Driving character

Drivers choose between GT, SPRINT and a customisable MY mode. A virtual eight speed shift system uses a sound profile built around 9,000 rpm to give the car a gear-change feel, and a High Performance Battery Control function manages battery temperature. Efficiency is listed at 3.7 km per kWh combined, 3.9 in the city and 3.4 on the highway.

Cabin

Inside are ten-way power bucket seats with suede and leather trim, a steering wheel, metal pedals and an infotainment interface that are specific to the Magma, a three-circle instrument cluster, a head-up display and a virtual gear shift display.

Dimensions

The car is 4,635 mm long, 1,940 mm wide and 1,560 mm tall on a 2,900 mm wheelbase and weighs 2,250 kg. The page warns that this weight may rule out some mechanical car parks in the home market.
