The Genesis GV60 Magma alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The Genesis GV60 Magma delivers a maximum power of 448 kW (609 hp / 601 bhp) and a total torque of 740 Nm (546 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 264 km/h (164 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 84.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 78.0 kWh, with a 6.0 kWh buffer (7.1%) for battery protection. The battery operates at a nominal voltage of 697 V, supporting high-power DC charging.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 448 km (278 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 17.4 kWh/100 km (3.6 mi/kWh).
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 233 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 41 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 17 minutes at an average power of 188 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 1–76%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 151 kW over a session lasting about 23 minutes and 17 seconds.
This efficient charging capability makes the Genesis GV60 Magma a convenient option for long-distance travel.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 7 hours and 5 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Bidirectional Charging
This model supports V2L (Vehicle to Load), allowing you to power electrical equipment requiring up to 3.68 kW of power, and even charge other electric vehicles.
Drivetrain
The Genesis GV60 Magma features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle.
The motors used are Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors.
Suspension
The Genesis GV60 Magma features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, both equipped with electronically controlled dampers and coil springs for a smooth and adaptive ride.
The Electronic Control Suspension with End-of-Travel control suspension has steel springs with a fixed height, but you can adjust damping to fit your driving style or road condition.
Normally, cars lean outward in corners. However, the active cornering dynamics can counteract this roll, or even overcompensate, making the car lean into bends like a motorcycle.
Steering
Progressive steering is standard on the Genesis GV60 Magma. It adjusts the steering ratio according to vehicle speed.
Drive Modes
The Genesis GV60 Magma lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.
The driver can choose between 5 modes:
- Eco: Balanced steering and efficient throttle.
- Comfort: Comfort steering and balanced throttle.
- Sport: Dynamic steering and throttle.
- GT: Dynamic steering, throttle, and suspension damping.
- Sprint: Dynamic steering, throttle, and suspension damping.
Brakes
The Genesis GV60 Magma is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between five levels.
