What makes the GV60 Magma different

Much of the hardware comes straight from the Ioniq 5 N, including the electronic limited-slip differential, adaptive suspension, Virtual Gear Shift and Drift Mode. Bigger 400mm front brakes, launch control and drive modes named Sprint, GT and My Drive round out the performance kit.

Outside, the Magma drops its ride height and adds 21-inch forged wheels on 275mm Pirelli P Zero tyres, a bespoke rear wing, front spats and a reworked bumper.

It's the only GV60 you can order in the signature Magma Orange.

Inside, buyers get power-operated sport seats, something the Ioniq 5 N skips, alongside a 27-inch OLED display, a 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen system and a Magma drive mode that reskins the dials to show motor and battery temperatures plus lateral force.

Like every Genesis, the GV60 Magma carries a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty with five years of complimentary scheduled servicing.

Order books are open now.

Genesis has priced its first Magma to sell prestige as much as performance. The bigger question is how many more Magma models follow, and whether the next ones justify the premium with more than a badge.
