EVwire brief: Genesis Canada has opened pre-orders for the all-new GV60 Magma, the brand’s first high-performance Magma model and the first production vehicle to introduce Genesis’ Magma performance division to customers. The electric SUV recently completed a national media tour and will continue a distributor tour across Canada ahead of its expected arrival later this year.
The GV60 Magma represents a major milestone for Genesis as the first production model to carry the Magma performance badge, highlighting Canada’s role in the global rollout of Genesis’ high-performance electric lineup.
Developed as the most dynamic interpretation yet of Genesis’ “Athletic Elegance” design philosophy, the GV60 Magma combines performance-focused engineering with luxury refinement and distinctive styling cues.
“As the first Magma model to reach Genesis guests, GV60 Magma reinforces our commitment to bringing meaningful, performance-driven products to Canadians while continuing to push the boundaries of what luxury performance can look like in an electric vehicle.”
he GV60 Magma sits among the highest-performance vehicles within Hyundai Motor Group’s portfolio.
Its dual-motor electric powertrain delivers:
448 kW (609 horsepower) - 478 kW (650 horsepower) with Boost Mode
740 Nm of torque - 790 Nm of torque with Boost Mode
Boost Mode enhances output for approximately 15 seconds, maximizing acceleration responsiveness.
Using Launch Control, the GV60 Magma can accelerate from 0 to 200 km/h in 10.9 seconds, while maintaining stable power delivery at higher speeds. The vehicle also reaches a top speed of 264 km/h.
Genesis also extended the maximum output range of the rear motor to maintain consistent performance during high-power driving conditions.
Ahead of its market arrival, the GV60 Magma completed a national media tour with stops at Genesis locations in:
Montreal
Toronto
Vancouver
Following the media tour, Genesis is continuing a distributor tour across Canada, bringing the GV60 Magma directly to customers. Confirmed stops include:
Genesis Downtown Vancouver – April 22
Genesis Vancouver – April 28
Genesis Victoria – May 6
Genesis Kelowna – May 12
Additional Canadian tour locations will be announced in the coming weeks.
Customers interested in reserving the GV60 Magma can place pre-orders through Genesis.ca, with Canadian deliveries expected later this year. Pricing will be announced at a later date.
Genesis describes the Magma brand through three defining attributes:
Design (Unspoken Dominance): A low, wide stance that blends athletic proportions with signature Genesis sophistication.
Driving Sensation (Captivating Control): Precise management of vehicle behavior and power delivery across driving conditions.
User Experience (Sharpened Immersion): Intuitive presentation of driving information designed to enhance driver focus.
The GV60 Magma was engineered with a primary objective of delivering driving control aligned closely with driver intent, supporting what Genesis describes as the “perfection of driving control”.
