Genesis GV60 Magma spied: Heated up electric SUV takes shape

Genesis is about to launch its Magma performance sub-brand, and the first cab off the rank is a hotted up version of the GV60 small electric SUV.

Spotted outside the Nurburgring in Germany, this prototype has a new, more aggressive front fascia with larger air intakes and sculpted surrounds that look very similar to the front clip of the 2024 GV60 Magma concept car.

The Magma’s tracks might be a little wider than other GV60 variants, but the hulking wheel-arch extensions of the concept are nowhere to be seen on the prototype. That said, there seem to be little ducts tucked into the trailing edge of the front wheel-arches.

At the back the Magma has a larger-than-regular spoiler at the base of the windscreen but, again, it’s nowhere near as wild as the unit fitted to last year’s concept car.

Drivetrain details have yet to be revealed, but it’s possible the GV60 Magma will share a lot in common with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N as both cars rides on the Korean automaker’s e-GMP architecture.
