2027 Genesis GV60 Magma Priced for Australia: $130,000, 478kW and a 3.4-Second 0-100
Genesis Australia locks in the GV60 Magma sticker. $130,000 before on-roads for a dual-motor AWD twin-under-the-skin of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Same 84kWh pack, same 448kW/700Nm normal or 478kW/790Nm Boost Mode outputs, same 3.4-second 0 to 100km/h, but wrapped in a Magma-only front bumper, forged 21-inch wheels on 275mm Pirelli P Zeros, a fixed rear wing, Magma Orange hero paint and Genesis' 27-inch curved display with a three-circle Magma driving mode. 800V charging peaks around 350kW, 10 to 80 per cent in about 18 minutes. WLTP range not yet finalised, ANCAP not yet rated. Matte paint is the only priced option at $4,000. Warranty is 5 years unlimited-km with 5 years or 75,000km of free scheduled servicing and 10 years of roadside. That is a $19,000 walk over the Ioniq 5 N for the same peak numbers and $26,100 over a Tesla Model Y Performance for a matching 3.4-second window. Orders open now.
