It’s been rumored for years, but on Monday we finally got confirmation from Genesis that it’s planning a performance sub-brand similar to Mercedes-Benz AMG and BMW M. It will be called Magma – yes, the hot thing under the Earth’s crust – and Genesis promises a high level of performance that doesn’t come at the expense of comfort or aesthetics. One of the first Magma vehicles will be based on the GV60, as evidenced by the reveal of a concept.
Mercedes-Benz has updated its G-Class, and the updates extend to AMG’s high-performance G 63. The updated lineup arrives for the 2025 model year, and while the G 63 retains the current V-8, the regular G-Class will be downsized to an inline-6.
Nissan tends to introduce a new strategy every two years. Its latest promises are 30 new vehicles over the next three years, seven of which are destined for sale in North America. Among the vehicles that will arrive here will be electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and even some series hybrids.
