Genesis said on November 11 that the GV60 Magma won the Upper Mid-Size Class at the 2026 Golden Steering Wheel Awards, organized by German automotive publication Auto Bild and weekly newspaper Bild am Sonntag.

The GV60 Magma earned high scores in evaluations of powertrain performance and driving dynamics, including agility, throttle response, steering precision, and braking performance, taking first place ahead of the Volvo ES90 and Mazda CX-6e.

Peter Kronschnabl, head of Genesis Europe, said, "Genesis does not define high performance simply in terms of acceleration. Our goal is to combine precise control with refined comfort. It is meaningful that our first high-performance model, the GV60 Magma, has received this award after earning high praise for its dynamic driving performance, recognizing what the brand strives to achieve."
