The 2026 Genesis GV60 Magma is now available to order in Australia as the first vehicle from Genesis’ Magma performance division. Priced from $130,000 before on-road costs, this is a dual-motor electric SUV with up to 478kW and 790Nm in Boost Mode, plus a claimed 0–100km/h time of 3.4 seconds.
The Magma is not simply a high-output option package for the regular GV60. It adds a different powertrain calibration, electronic limited-slip differential, adaptive suspension, larger brakes, forged wheels, model-specific aero and a deliberately more track-focused software suite. For buyers who want the pace of a serious performance EV but still need five seats and a compact SUV shape, that distinction is the point.
Genesis GV60 Magma price in Australia
The GV60 Magma is listed at $130,000 before on-road costs. That places it substantially above the $88,300 Genesis GV60 Advanced rear-wheel-drive model, but the comparison is not like-for-like: Magma brings a dual-motor performance system, a dedicated chassis package and a much more focused specification.
| 2026 Genesis GV60 Magma | Australian reference |
|---|---|
| Price | $130,000 before on-road costs |
| Body style | Five-seat performance electric SUV |
| Drivetrain | Dual-motor all-wheel drive |
| Genesis GV60 Advanced price | $88,300 before on-road costs |
The $130,000 figure is Genesis’ listed Australian price before on-road costs. Registration, stamp duty, dealer delivery and state-based costs can change the final drive-away figure.
The regular Genesis GV60 Advanced is the better reference for an everyday, long-range luxury EV. The Magma is the enthusiast choice, aimed at drivers who value acceleration, response and chassis capability enough to accept a significantly higher entry price.

Power, performance and Magma hardware
The headline numbers are up to 478kW and 790Nm with Boost Mode engaged. Genesis also quotes a 448kW and 740Nm standard output, a 3.4-second 0–100km/h sprint and a 264km/h top speed. These are manufacturer claims, but they clearly position the Magma as a dedicated performance EV rather than a comfort-first SUV with a faster badge.
Its chassis specification follows the same thinking. Genesis equips the Magma with 21-inch forged wheels, 400mm front and 360mm rear brake discs, Electronic Control Suspension, an electronic limited-slip differential, launch control and Drift Mode. Virtual Gear Shift adds simulated changes in motor output, torque and regenerative braking, while Magma-specific drive modes are intended to make the driver interface more engaging on a closed course.

The Magma’s closest family comparison is the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N, which shares key performance-EV ideas but packages them in a lower sedan body. The GV60 Magma instead combines that kind of driver focus with a taller seating position and a more overt luxury finish.
Battery, range and charging planning
The GV60 Magma has an 84kWh battery and a 425km WLTP range reference. That is a useful comparison number, but a high-performance SUV on wide tyres can show a larger gap between gentle commuting and sustained motorway or enthusiastic driving than an efficiency-led EV. Speed, weather, cabin climate, road surface and driving mode will all influence actual energy use.
Genesis positions the Magma as a performance flagship, so prospective owners should plan charging around their real routine rather than choose it on a peak-speed headline alone. Confirm the current local charging specification, supported connector hardware and any available home-charging equipment when ordering. For longer trips, reliable charging stops and a sensible buffer matter as much as the highest power rating shown on a charger screen.
| Battery and performance reference | Genesis GV60 Magma |
|---|---|
| Battery | 84kWh |
| Claimed range | 425km WLTP |
| Maximum output | Up to 478kW in Boost Mode |
| Maximum torque | Up to 790Nm in Boost Mode |
| Claimed 0–100km/h | 3.4 seconds |
WLTP range and performance figures are laboratory or manufacturer references. They are useful for comparison, but they do not guarantee a particular real-world trip result.

Right-hand-drive cabin and Magma technology
The local GV60 Magma uses a right-hand-drive cockpit centred on a 27-inch OLED integrated display, which combines driver information and infotainment. Magma Mode uses a three-dial display layout for performance data, while the head-up display can show key information in the driver’s line of sight. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system and wireless phone charging are part of the high-end equipment story.

Magma-specific trim combines suede-like Chamude upholstery, contrasting accents and dedicated steering-wheel controls for drive mode and boost functions. The cabin therefore has a more purposeful mood than the standard GV60, but it remains an SUV interior designed to work for normal trips rather than a stripped-out track special.
Space, ownership and everyday suitability
The GV60 Magma retains a five-seat compact-SUV body, which makes it more adaptable than a low-slung performance sedan. It is still a high-performance model on wide tyres and 21-inch wheels, though, so it is worth assessing ride quality, rear-seat needs and practical luggage requirements on a test drive. Shoppers seeking a broader family-SUV role may also compare it with the Porsche Macan Electric, which sits in a related premium-electric-SUV space.

Genesis lists a five-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty, five years or 75,000km of complimentary scheduled servicing, roadside assistance and Genesis To You support terms for the model. Confirm the current policy, local service coverage and collection arrangements with Genesis, especially if your nearest retailer is some distance away.
Who should consider the Genesis GV60 Magma?
The GV60 Magma is for an EV buyer who wants serious straight-line pace and track-inspired hardware without giving up the raised seating position, premium cabin and everyday usability of an SUV. It is more specialised than the standard GV60, and it commands a price that puts it well beyond a value-first electric car.
It will suit someone with reliable charging access who values the engineering detail of an electronic limited-slip differential, adaptive suspension and performance-specific controls. It will suit a buyer less well if the priority is maximum range per dollar, the lowest running cost or the largest possible rear-seat space.
