The Vision Meta Turismo is a futuristic GT concept car focused on driving, power and comfort. This is Kia's vision for the future of mobility piese auto online.

Will a sporty GT from Korea appear soon?

With the Vision Meta Turismo, Kia interprets the mobility of tomorrow. The design studio was already presented at the end of 2025 on the occasion of Kia’s 80th anniversary and could give us direction for the design of the EV7 or EV8 model series. After the discontinuation of the Stinger, Kia did not have a classic sedan with sporting ambitions – a production car based on the Vision Meta Turismo could fill this gap.

United Opposites design philosophy

The Vision Meta Turismo follows Kia’s “Opposites United” design philosophy. Soft, almost sculptural surfaces meet sharp edges and geometric shapes. The silhouette looks futuristic and very sporty at the same time: a short bonnet, a low-slung nose, short body overhangs and a long wheelbase, which mainly benefits the interior.

The most striking feature is the large passenger cell: the windscreen extends far beyond the centre of the car and flows almost seamlessly into the large glass roof. This not only floods the interior with light, but also emphasises the open, lounge-like character of the concept car. The B-pillars are missing and the rear-hinged doors make it easy to get in and out. The wide wings and the sloping rear end, despite the coupe-like roofline, complete the look.

The narrow daytime running lights, which are positioned on the body like small wings and merge with the camera-based side mirrors, also stand out. Two additional narrow LED strips in the black front bumper complete the design, creating an overall X-shaped impression. The arched rear lights are reminiscent of the EV6 and emphasize the generous width of the Gran Turismo. The bright yellow paintwork, meanwhile, emphasizes the optimistic and confident presence of the concept car.

Kia Vision Meta Turismo: a lodge-like interior with a focus on the driver

Inside, Kia emphasizes spaciousness and minimalism. Clearly colored zones for the driver and front passenger define the boundary between driving and relaxation. The front passenger sits more like a lounger – with the option to rotate the seat 180 degrees for better communication with the rear passengers.

You might think that the driver is sitting in a racing simulator. An augmented reality head-up display projects driving information three-dimensionally “on the road” – similar to the Panoramic Vision Display in the new BMW iX3. In Kia’s concept, however, everything is taken a step further into the futuristic realm: instead of a classic steering wheel, a controller-like unit is used, corresponding to the three driving modes: “Speedster”, “Dreamer” and “Gamer”. The latter is only active when the car is stationary and serves as entertainment during breaks.

A joystick next to the driver's seat simulates virtual gear changes, and there are also buttons for "Launch Control" and "GT Boost." Virtual driving and engine sounds are designed to enhance the experience behind the wheel.

Electric drive

Kia isn't revealing any specifics about power output – this is just a design study, after all. But everything points to a pure electric drivetrain. The closed front, aerodynamically optimized shape and clear focus on future mobility leave no doubt that Kia is aiming for the next generation of electric Gran Turismo cars.
