Genesis announced that the GV60 Magma won the Upper Midsize Class category at the 2026 Golden Steering Wheel Awards, an event co-hosted by Germany’s leading automotive publications Auto Bild and Bild am Sonntag, on the 10th. At this year’s ceremony, marking its 50th anniversary, the GV60 Magma secured first place, outperforming competing models such as the Volvo ES90 and Mazda CX-6e. In particular, it received high scores from the jury for key powertrain performance and driving dynamics, including vehicle agility, acceleration response, steering intuitiveness, and braking performance.

This award holds significant meaning as it definitively proves in Europe, the birthplace of the automotive industry, that Genesis has demonstrated the driving dynamics based on dynamic elegance that the brand pursues through its luxury high-performance electric model, the GV60 Magma. Peter Kronschnabel, head of Genesis’s European division, expressed his gratitude, stating that the brand does not define high performance solely by acceleration power but aims for a harmony of precise control and refined comfort, and that it is meaningful to have the direction the brand pursues recognized.

Following its win of the Main Award in the Product Design category at the 2026 Red Dot Awards last May, the GV60 Magma has further cemented its unique presence by capturing Germany’s most prestigious automotive award. This year’s ceremony involved a panel of 23 judges, including automotive journalists and racing drivers, who comprehensively tested handling, ride comfort, and sustainability among 27 final candidates selected through reader voting from 90 new car nominees at the Dekra Lausitzring circuit to determine the final winners.
