The term “sexy” has taken on a new meaning in the automotive world, thanks to Genesis and its latest unveiling – the Magma Performance. As reported by nxsmediawire.com on April 4, 2026, at 01:05 IST, this high-performance variant is set to revolutionize the luxury car market in India. With its impressive acceleration of 0-100km/h in just 3.9 seconds, the Magma Performance is undoubtedly a head-turner.
And what makes this car truly “sexy” is its sleek design and powerful engine. According to a press release by Genesis, the Magma Performance boasts a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that produces 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. That’s not all – the car also features an 8-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system, making it a thrill to drive on Indian roads.
But don’t just take our word for it – the numbers speak for themselves. The Magma Performance has a top speed of 240km/h and can go from 0-100km/h in just 3.9 seconds. That’s faster than the likes of the Audi S4 and the Mercedes-AMG C43, which take 4.4 seconds and 4.7 seconds, respectively, to reach the same speed. As Santosh Iyer, the Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Mercedes-Benz India, said in an interview, “The Indian luxury car market is growing rapidly, and we’re seeing a lot of interest in high-performance variants like the Magma Performance.”
The Indian luxury car market is indeed growing rapidly, with sales expected to reach ₹1.5 lakh crore by 2027, according to a report by ResearchAndMarkets.com. And with the launch of the Magma Performance, Genesis is well-positioned to capture a significant share of this market. As Rohit Suri, the President and Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover India, said, “The Indian consumer is becoming increasingly discerning, and they’re looking for cars that offer a unique combination of style, performance, and luxury.”
The Magma Performance is priced at ₹75 lakh, which is competitively priced compared to other luxury cars in the market. For example, the Audi S4 is priced at ₹79.99 lakh, while the Mercedes-AMG C43 is priced at ₹89.99 lakh. As Suresh Rana, a car enthusiast from Mumbai, said, “I’ve been waiting for a car like the Magma Performance to hit the market. It’s got the perfect combination of style, performance, and luxury, and the price is just right.”
In terms of features, the Magma Performance comes with a range of advanced safety features, including forward collision avoidance, lane departure warning, and blind spot monitoring. It also features a premium audio system with 17 speakers, a heads-up display, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. As per the data available on the official website of Genesis, the car also comes with a 5-year/100,000km warranty, which is one of the best in the industry.
The Magma Performance is set to be launched in India on May 1, 2026, at 11:00 IST. According to a press release by Genesis, the car will be available in three colors – Magma Red, Titanium Gray, and Velvet Burgundy. As Saurabh Vatsa, the Head of Marketing at Genesis India, said, “We’re excited to bring the Magma Performance to India and we’re confident that it will be a game-changer in the luxury car market.”
