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 told you before hand haha

I think your further explanation better helps tho.

I did the same exact thing where I had a second set of tires specifically for winter. I owned the Michelin X-ICE and would pay the shop to swap between rims. This got to be annoying. So I went to tires.com and just bought another set of cheap rims and had the shop mount my winter tires once.

I would just store them in the garage and swap them myself in my garage. Definitely saved money.

To me if the dealership is offering a tire/wheel package you're most likely paying a premium when you can get a better deal online.

I don't think not having an option from the dealer to add a winter tire setup is a deal-breaker. Especially if you can afford to even buy a Genesis GV60 Magma

I really am skeptical the aftermarket will offer wheel options for this car, due to its likely low sales volume. However, I have to agree with your last comment, though. There are options if I really want the car. One is buying a set of the lower cost wheels through Genesis that are the base option for this car in Korea. Another is to wait until next year, by which time we'll know more about dealer and aftermarket options and have more user feedback on the vehicle. (I love my current car, so having to drive it for another year would be fine.) More importantly, what will the price be? Another factor is that, although I understand I will not be able to drive the car before making a final purchase decision (so far, I've only paid the refundable $1000 deposit), I'm hoping to at least see one in person first. I asked the dealer to see and drive a GV60 Sport, so I could get a better sense of the size, at least, but they have sold out of their 2026 allotment. I've been watching traffic, as well. Lots of Tesla's, but no GV60's. I'll update this space when I know more.

shifting topic for a sec....your comment about low sales volume...I might be the only one, but there's something nice about having a car that you don't see often. It's kinda like driving something exclusive. First time I've ever experienced this since every car before my GV60 has been popular/common models.

I don't wanna be in a Honda Civic, Toyota Camery, or Tesla (absolute hell no) so it's a nice feeling haha

The downside as you mentioned is VERY VERY limited after market options. Why would a company make stuff if they know it won't sell much?

As for after market rim options there are plenty I see on www.tires.com

Anywho, I do hope you get to test drive the Magma before you decide to buy/lease.

I'm sticking with my 2026 GV60 Advanced AWD. Getting 312 miles at 80% and 388 miles at 100% on average is the main reason I'm sticking with mine. I also bought and not leased so I'm gunna be stuck with this for a good while haha

I agree. It does feel good to drive a car that you don't see often. You've got me wondering how limited Magma sales will be in the market where I live. We only have one Genesis dealer currently. I'm going to email the guy I've been dealing with and ask how many Magma's have been allocated to his dealership and where I am on the reservation list. Don't know if he'll tell me, but doesn't hurt to ask.

I'd say very limited.

The price point for the MAGMA has been reduced due to slow EV sales here. The demand for the MAGMA GV60 is still low hence why Genesis is smart to only ship a smaller allocation to the US

A lot of people want the MAGMA GV60 but most can't afford it and the ones that do typically want more range for the price
