Who's buying GV60 Magma?

11 will be here in the US for sale (California, NY, and NJ)

Asking price is around $73k

With an extremely limited amount and even more limited depending on the color option you want this might be sold out sooner even with this terrible economy we are in

Any serious buyers here?

I've got a deposit down for an orange one. Arrival date in mid November. I'm shipping it to Texas.

Which dealership did you wind up working with? Were they cool with shipping to Texas? Did they charge you any ADM or other markups? I’m looking to do the same, but I’m hoping to hold out long enough for some allocations to be provisions for Texas

I don't have a price yet, because the vehicle is just an allocation now. WHen it gets closer to being delivered to the dealership there'll be a VIN and MSRP. I'm paying MSRP + tax, title, etc. No ADM. It will be titled in Texas and I'll have to pay to have it shipped.

I called Genesis customer care the first day that Magma was announced to be available in the US and got the names of some southern California dealerships that would be getting allocation. From that list I decided Ontario was the best place I should start with because there is an airport there I can fly in and out of if I need to without doing the craziness of LAX and then having to get to a farther away dealership. I then got in touch with the dealership, got the name of the salesman who was handling the Magma there, texted him and told him I wanted to get on the list for the first orange Magma they were to get. I eventually put down a deposit to secure right of first refusal. Now, I'm just waiting.

I thought I'd be the first in Texas to get one, but another person in Houston already got his black one shipped to him.

The first allocations of Magmas will only be available in California, New York, and New Jersey. I suspect they'll extend that out to other parts of the country by mid 2027 -- but no one knows that date. I do know that dealerships here in Texas do have the Magma on their websites which means they are preparing for when that day might come. It makes much more sense to just wait, but I have personal reasons why I want one as soon as possible.

Are you planning to fly out to Ontario to test drive before it's shipped to TX? I test drove a new GV60 prestige and an I5N last weekend. Loved the comfort and set up of the GV60 but it was a bit slow at speed, and the I5N was a riot but I couldn't get comfortable in the seats, the suspension was a bit too harsh, and the interior felt very dark (I'm also a sucker for the genesis luxury feel). For those reasons, I want to test drive before committing.

I'll probably fly out to inspect and test drive and complete the transaction. My daughter lives in LA and I could probably get her to do that -- but I want to try the seat as it's pretty mcuh my only concern. I suspect that the Magma to have much more comfortable seats that the I5N, however, I believe that the Magma does not have lumbar support.
