The Genesis GV60 Magma is Coming to Kitchener-Waterloo

The brand that redefined "Athletic Elegance" is now turning up the temperature. Enter the Genesis GV60 Magma—not just a new trim level, but the dawn of a high-performance era for the Korean luxury house.

Initially teased as a bold concept in New York and pushed to its limits at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the production version of the GV60 Magma is officially confirmed. For those of us navigating the roads of the Region of Waterloo, the wait for this "road-ready" volcanic powerhouse is almost over.

Performance That Scorches the Asphalt

The GV60 Magma isn't just about a flashy coat of paint (though that "Magma Orange" is undeniable). Underneath its aggressive wider stance and 21-inch forged wheels lies a powertrain engineered to challenge the best from Germany and beyond.

• Heart of Fire: The dual-motor setup delivers a combined 609 hp, which jumps to a staggering 641 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque when you engage Boost Mode.
• The Sprint: It will rocket from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds.
• The Soundtrack: Through Virtual Gear Shift (VGS) and Active Sound Design, the Magma replicates the visceral "shift" feel and auditory roar of a high-performance internal combustion engine.

Canadian Availability: When Can You Get One?

We have been tracking the timeline closely for the Canadian market. While South Korea will see deliveries in early 2026, North American production is slated to begin in mid-2026.

• Arrival Date: Expect the GV60 Magma to land at Genesis Kitchener-Waterloo in late 2026 as a 2027 model.
• Pre-Orders: Sign up for GV60 Magma updates and be the first to know once pre-orders open.
• The NACS Edge: Like the updated 2026 GV60, the Magma will come equipped with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, meaning local owners will have seamless access to the Tesla Supercharger network throughout Ontario.

Designed for the Driver

The interior of the Magma is a masterclass in performance luxury. At Genesis KW, we’re particularly excited about the 27-inch panoramic OLED display that integrates the cockpit into a single, seamless interface. You’ll also find:

• Magma-exclusive suede bucket seats with body-coloured seatbacks.
• A dedicated Magma Mode on the steering wheel that optimizes battery temperature and motor output for maximum performance.
• Titanium grey and orange double-diamond stitching that reminds you this is no ordinary EV.

Experience the Future at Genesis Kitchener-Waterloo

The Magma program represents the pinnacle of what Genesis can achieve. It’s about more than just speed; it’s about the "joy of sporty driving with effortless comfort."

While we wait for the first Magma units to arrive at our local distributor, the updated 2026 GV60—featuring the new 84-kWh battery and refreshed styling—is already making waves.

Are you ready to be one of the first in Waterloo Region to experience the Magma?
