by Completion of GV60 Magma Testing
Genesis has announced the completion of validation tests for the high-performance electric crossover GV60 Magma, paving the way for its official presentation later this year.
Extreme Testing Conditions
Although details remain limited, the manufacturer emphasized that the car has proven its reliability in the world’s most severe conditions. Prototypes underwent testing in Arjeplog (Sweden) to verify performance in low temperatures, as well as at a proving ground in California, where power, cooling efficiency, and thermal protection were tested.
Engineers evaluated chassis precision, traction stability, brake reliability, and maneuverability on icy terrain.
In New Zealand, the crossover was tested at altitudes exceeding 1500 meters, and in Korea – at the Inje Speedium track, where the model demonstrated its极限 capabilities.
Design and Technical Features
After intensive testing, Genesis promises a combination of thrilling performance and comfort. An official teaser with a camouflaged prototype confirms aggressive front styling with three oval air intake vents, a new bumper with larger intake imitation, canards, and a sports braking system with orange calipers. The rear features a spoiler, and overall the model is expected to look similar to the GV60 Magma concept presented in 2024.
Expected Technical Specifications
Although official data is not available, it is anticipated that the crossover will inherit technologies from the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and Kia EV6 GT. This includes an 84 kWh battery, a dual-motor all-wheel drive system with approximately 641 hp and 769 Nm of torque. The estimated range may be 372 km, with full information becoming available in the coming weeks.
The development of the GV60 Magma marks an important step for Genesis towards high-performance electric models that combine innovation with durability. This model could become a key player in the market, competing with other premium electric vehicles, thanks to its unique design and proven technical solutions.
