The cabin features 10-way adjustable sports bucket seats, white contrast stitching, and a unique steering wheel with an orange Magma dial.

Black suede-like Chamude material covers the door panels, seats, and headliner, creating a premium atmosphere.

A dedicated Magma menu in the infotainment system allows adjustment of performance settings and live metrics.

Driving Dynamics

The GV60 Magma rides on bespoke Pirelli P Zero Elect tires and features stroke-sensing electronically controlled suspension.

Grip is tenacious, and the car hides its 5,004 lb (2,270 kg) curb weight well, feeling more compact than the Ioniq 5 N on twisty roads.

The ride is firm even in Comfort mode but remains comfortable enough for daily driving.

Brakes are massive: 400 mm front discs with four-piston calipers and 360 mm rear discs with single-piston calipers, stopping from 100 km/h in 33.8 meters.

In Range or Comfort mode, the Magma goes silent and glides like a luxury crossover.

Regenerative braking offers three levels plus one-pedal mode and an automatic mode that adjusts based on navigation data.

Efficiency and Charging

Genesis quotes a combined efficiency of 21.5 kWh/100 km, giving a range of 425 km (264 miles).

However, real-world testing returned closer to 27 kWh/100 km, reducing range to just over 300 km (186 miles).

The 800-volt architecture supports DC fast charging at up to 265 kW, enabling a 10-80% charge in 18 minutes on a 350 kW charger.

Verdict

The GV60 Magma is an excellent performance EV that delivers driving thrills without the hard edge of Hyundai's N cars.

It won't be a high-volume seller, but it serves as a compelling statement of Genesis's ambitions for the Magma brand.
