Genesis, the renowned South Korean luxury automaker, has set the stage ablaze with the announcement of its latest venture – the Magma performance sub-brand. Stepping into the limelight at the 2024 New York Auto Show, Genesis showcased the vibrant GV60 Magma Concept alongside its predecessor, the G80 Magma Special, marking a bold step towards redefining the boundaries of performance and luxury.
Genesis first teased enthusiasts with the tantalizing hue of Magma orange nearly a year ago when they unveiled the GV80 Coupe concept, later bringing the G80 Magma Special to life in limited numbers, primarily catering to the Middle Eastern market. Now, the GV60 Magma Concept takes center stage, promising a fusion of electrifying performance and opulent comfort.
While specific details regarding performance enhancements remain under wraps, one thing is certain – the GV60 Magma Concept is primed to deliver an exhilarating driving experience. Powered by an improved battery system feeding tweaked motors, this electric crossover is poised to raise the bar for performance-oriented luxury vehicles.
Visually captivating, the GV60 Magma Concept exudes an aura of dynamism and sophistication. Its lowered stance and widened profile hint at the enhanced capabilities lying beneath the surface. A revised front fascia, adorned with a broader air intake, not only adds to its aggressive demeanor but also serves the practical purpose of cooling vital components such as batteries, brakes, and motors.
Further enhancing aerodynamics and efficiency are strategically placed air curtains and roof fins, directing airflow to optimize downforce and reduce drag. The exterior's aesthetic allure is complemented by a sumptuous leather interior, featuring magma-inspired accents and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a harmonious blend of style and comfort.
As the GV60 Magma Concept, alongside its counterparts, takes its place on the pedestal at the 2024 New York Auto Show, Genesis invites enthusiasts and industry insiders alike to witness the dawn of a new era in automotive excellence. With a fervent commitment to innovation and a relentless pursuit of perfection, Genesis ignites the passion for driving, promising a journey like no other.

For more than 20 years, the Cayenne has been characterised by its ability to provide the broad range of qualities between characteristic Porsche driving performance, excellent comfort in everyday driving, and great capability when driving off-road. The future models of the SUV will seamlessly continue this success story, retaining all of the car’s familiar features.
“The Cayenne has always defined the sports car in its segment. In the middle of the decade, the fourth generation will set standards in the segment as an electric SUV,” said Blume, CEO of Porsche AG. At the same time, into the next decade our customers will still be able to choose from a wide range of powerful and efficient combustion and hybrid models.
"The third generation of the Cayenne will be further upgraded and will continue to be offered alongside the fourth, all-electric generation".
The current Cayenne generation, which last year was given one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche, will be further developed with major technological investment in the future. Here the developers will be focusing, among other things, on the powertrains, in particular on improving the efficiency of the V8 developed by Porsche and built at the Zuffenhausen engine plant. Extensive technical measures will ensure that the twin-turbo engine is ready to comply with future legislative requirements.
In a bold move against the prevailing headwinds in the electric vehicle (EV) industry, VinFast, the young Vietnamese EV manufacturer, is forging ahead with its ambitious global expansion plans.

Having already established a presence in the U.S., Canada, and Southeast Asia, the company is now setting its sights on the Middle Eastern market.
Hyundai is set to debut its three-row electric SUV later this year, a move that signifies the automaker's bold step into the large electric vehicle (EV) market. This new SUV, anticipated to be named the Ioniq 9, is poised to be Hyundai’s equivalent to the Kia EV9, offering a spacious and eco-friendly alternative to its popular Palisade.
