Kia’s Vision Meta Turismo EV Grand-Tourer Concept Debuts at Milan Design Week

Kia casts the show car as a guidepost for its next phase of electric vehicles.

Overview

  • The electric grand-tourer made its global debut at Milan Design Week in Milan, where Kia also showed early-stage EV2, EV3, EV4, EV5 and EV9 concepts.
  • The design follows Kia’s Opposites United philosophy, blending 1960s touring cues with jet-inspired details such as canard-style light housings and a cab-forward stance.
  • The cockpit leans into gaming, with a joystick-like virtual gear shifter, a gamepad-shaped steering wheel, virtual engine sounds, and a button for launch control.
  • Three experience modes set the tone inside: Speedster uses a wide augmented-reality head-up display, Dreamer layers urban AR guidance, and Gamer turns the parked car into a virtual racer.
  • Kia executives say they are exploring a production version while confirming it is still a concept, and outlets suggest it could evolve into a spiritual successor to the discontinued Stinger.
