The automotive landscape is about to get significantly more exciting. Genesis has officially unveiled the 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma at the Los Angeles Auto Show. This marks a pivotal moment for the luxury brand because it isn’t just another performance trim or a simple power upgrade. The 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma represents Genesis’ bold entry into the luxury high-performance segment. It introduces an entirely new sub-brand dedicated to delivering what Genesis calls “Luxury High Performance.” With production set to begin in the second quarter of 2027 and sales launching in the third quarter, the 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma signals Genesis’ ambition to redefine what performance means in the luxury space.
What is Genesis Magma?
Magma is Genesis’ new high-performance sub-brand, but it approaches performance differently than conventional performance divisions. Genesis defines Luxury High Performance as a philosophy that blends refined elegance with seamless with effortless performance. The Magma program aims to create a profound emotional connection between Genesis and its drivers, building on the brand’s established “Athletic Elegance” design philosophy. This approach prioritizes balanced power, finely tuned driving dynamics, and seamless harmony between driver and vehicle.
2027 Genesis GV60 Magma vs Standard Genesis GV60
The 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma serves as the inaugural production model for this ambitious program. Genesis has made clear that more Magma variants are coming. Concept versions of the GV80 SUV and G80 sedan have already been showcased, indicating that the performance treatment will eventually span the entire Genesis lineup. Understanding what sets the 2027 GV60 Magma apart from the standard GV60 is crucial for enthusiasts considering this performance electric vehicle.
2027 GV60 Magma Performance
While the standard Genesis GV60 performance model produces 429 horsepower, the Magma raises the bar significantly. The 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma will generate 601 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque in normal driving, jumping to 641 horsepower and 583 pound-feet in Boost mode. This represents a substantial 167-horsepower advantage over the standard performance model when both are in their respective boost modes.
Chassis and Suspension
Genesis engineers completely reworked the 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma underpinnings. The electronically controlled suspension features revised geometry, roll center adjustments, and end-of-travel control systems. Hydro bushings up front and dual-layer bushings in the rear crossmember reduce vibration and road impacts while maintaining the sharp handling characteristics expected from a performance vehicle.
Wheels and Tires
The Magma rides on wider 21-inch wheels wrapped in model-specific 275-width Pirelli tires developed exclusively for this vehicle. These provide significantly more grip than standard Genesis GV60 models, enhancing cornering capability and high-speed stability.
Braking System
Larger 15.7-inch front brake discs with monoblock calipers provide the stopping power necessary to match the 2027 GV60 Magma enhanced performance. The orange-painted brake calipers serve as a visual signature of Magma models.
2027 GV60 Magma Design
Genesis intentionally avoided ostentatious or aggressive styling on the 2027 GV60 Magma in favor of a look that emphasizes the presence of subtle, untapped power. The most dramatic change is the stance. The Magma sits nearly an inch lower to the ground than standard GV60 models, immediately communicating its performance intentions. At the rear, a functional rear wing serves as the centerpiece of the design, providing genuine downforce rather than existing purely for aesthetics. All chrome trim from the standard Genesis GV60 has been eliminated, replaced with gloss black parts and dark metal accents that reinforce the performance character.
Performance & Powertrain
The heart of any performance vehicle is its powertrain, and the 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma doesn’t disappoint. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive system delivers power with the instantaneous response that defines modern electric performance vehicles. In standard driving mode, the system produces 601 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque. Press the steering wheel-mounted Boost button, and those figures leap to 641 horsepower and 583 pound-feet for up to 15 seconds. The 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma accelerates to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. The sprint from 0 to 124 mph requires only 10.9 seconds. One of the most intriguing features, borrowed from the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, is the Virtual Gear Shift System. This clever piece of technology replicates the shifting sensations and sound of a high-revving internal combustion engine.
2027 Genesis GV60 Magma-Specific Interior
The interior of the 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma features bucket seats in orange, symbolizing magma, paired with titanium grey. The seats themselves are wrapped in soft Nappa leather combined with Chamude suede-like material. Orange and grey accents throughout the cabin reinforce the Magma identity, appearing on contrast stitching, trim pieces, and display themes. The centerpiece of the interior remains the innovative Crystal Sphere shift-by-wire system, which rotates to reveal the shift dial when the vehicle is powered up. This distinctive feature, exclusive to the Genesis GV60 across the lineup, adds a touch of theater to every drive. A 27-inch curved OLED display spans the dashboard, integrating both the digital instrument cluster and central touchscreen into a seamless interface. The 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma receives exclusive display themes that emphasize performance data, providing drivers with essential information about power delivery, g-forces, lap times, and other metrics relevant to performance driving.
Genesis GV60 Magma Technology
The 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma benefits from the comprehensive technology updates introduced across the 2027 GV60 lineup, plus performance-specific enhancements. An infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard equipment. The MyGenesis app enables plug-and-play charging at compatible stations without requiring drivers to fish out credit cards, streamlining the charging experience. Dynamic route planning with charger routing helps drivers find appropriate charging stations along their route. Voice recognition technology has been expanded, allowing drivers to control more functions through natural language commands.
Range & Efficiency
As a performance-focused electric vehicle, the 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma prioritizes power delivery over maximum range. The vehicle utilizes an 84-kWh battery pack, the same size as the updated 2027 standard GV60 models. The 2027 Genesis GV60 Performance, with its 429 horsepower, achieves an EPA-estimated range of 252 miles. Given the Magma’s increased power output and performance-oriented tire selection, expect range to fall somewhere in the 240-250 mile range under normal driving conditions. However, range figures tell only part of the story with modern EVs. The 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma charging capability is where it truly excels. The vehicle can charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in approximately 18 minutes when connected to a 350kW DC fast charger.
2027 Genesis GV60 Magma Safety Features
Safety remains paramount in the 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma, with Genesis’ comprehensive suite of advanced safety technologies protecting occupants. The 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma has earned impressive safety ratings, achieving five out of five stars overall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
