There’s a larger battery, increased range, and even a Magma version for those who like to push the limits. If you’re into technology and electric vehicles, stick around; we’ll detail everything for you. Ready?
2026 Genesis GV60: Refined and Smoother Design
Genesis has subtly updated the GV60’s look for 2026. The focus has been on refining what was already good. The front bumper has a smoother look, with cleaner lines and a redesigned grille that will surely appeal to those who appreciate a modern, futuristic design.
The headlights have also been redesigned and now feature micro-lens array (MLA) elements, adding a touch of sophistication. The exterior trim now matches the body color for a more uniform and clean appearance. Finally, new 21-inch five-spoke wheels add to the car’s presence.
2026 GV60 Dashboard Adopts a 27-Inch Integrated Display
If you found the exterior changes subtle, prepare yourself for the interior, where things get much more interesting. The main novelty is the adoption of a massive 27-inch screen that integrates the digital instrument panel and the infotainment system. This screen eliminates the bezel separating the two elements, creating a sense of unity and modernity.
A new three-spoke steering wheel and revised controls are also part of the interior updates, ensuring a more ergonomic and intuitive experience. The crystal sphere shifter remains, but the touchscreen functionality is now available across all dashboard options.
2026 GV60 Battery Increases Range with 84 kWh
Everyone wants a long-lasting battery in an electric car, right? Genesis listened. The GV60’s battery capacity is jumping from 77.4 kWh to 84 kWh. This change mirrors the evolution seen in its platform siblings, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6.
What does this mean in practice? More range! The EPA-estimated range, currently between 235 and 294 miles, is expected to increase considerably. You’ll be able to drive further and worry less about recharging.
Genesis Magma: High-Performance Version of the GV60
Get ready for this: Genesis will launch a high-performance version of the GV60 called Magma. This is the first model of a new Genesis sub-brand focused on performance and is already generating buzz among enthusiasts.
While full technical details are still pending, the GV60 Magma is expected to surpass the current performance version’s 429 hp and feature design elements inspired by the 2024 concept.

2026 GV60: NACS Charging and Other News
