Genesis Teases G70 Magma: Sleek Design Meets Turbocharged Power

Many consumers choose mid-size sedans for their appropriate size, ride comfort, and stable driving performance. For that reason, manufacturers in each country have more than one type of mid-sized sedan. The most representative models include the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C Class, and Genesis.

In particular, the Genesis G70 was popular as a representative model of domestic sports sedans along with the Stinger and received intensive attention due to the discontinuation of the Stinger. Recently, a vehicle presumed to be a rendering of the G70 model of the high-performance division Magma unveiled by Genesis at the New York Motor Show appeared on the Internet, attracting attention.

Featuring a Low Body and Sleek Front End

In May 2024, Genesis announced that it would debut a new vehicle at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which will be held in July 2024. After that, a teaser image of a vehicle presumed to be the G70 appeared on Genesis Europe’s social media account, and people speculated that the G70 Magma might be a new product.

The Genesis Magma vehicle scheduled to debut at the upcoming Goodwood Hill Climb competition will likely be the G70. Overseas, the Magma version of the G70 appeared in renderings, attracting attention. There is no significant difference in design from the existing G70, but the more aggressive lower front bumper, air duct, and sleeker headlamps make it feel like a high-performance vehicle.

Vehicle to be unveiled in July 2024
There is a high possibility of GV60 or G70

Release information about the G70 Magma rendering, which emphasizes sportiness, is not yet known accurately. It is unclear whether the vehicle to be unveiled in Europe in July 2024 will also be the G70. Still, among the Genesis Magma vehicles that have been captured, the GV60 and GV70 are currently available. In addition, there were even rumors that the G70 was discontinued at one point, so you will have to check for details in July 2024 to find out.

In addition, the teaser image also has the word “Taxi” written on the side, leading to speculation that Genesis is preparing and test-driving an event vehicle. Hyundai has previously operated N Taxi in Nürburgring, so the possibility of this happening is relatively high.

Despite the lack of specific information

The powertrain description is also not specific. It will appear with performance that surpasses the existing Genesis G70’s 4-cylinder 2.5 gasoline turbo engine and 6-cylinder 3.3 gasoline turbo engine, but additional information has not yet been unveiled.

Many people are looking forward to the Genesis Magma, which combines luxury and high performance. The rumor that the D-segment sports sedan will appear as a high-performance version is not enough to be welcomed.
