Kia brings a bold vision of future mobility to Milan Design Week with the global debut of the Vision Meta Turismo concept. First shown in Korea during the brand’s 80th anniversary celebrations, this electric grand tourer blends the spirit of classic long distance travel with immersive digital technology. Inspired by the elegance and speed of 1960s touring cars, the concept introduces a fresh idea of what a grand tourer can become in the electric era, combining performance driving, lounge like comfort, and a more emotional connection between driver, passenger, and machine.

Futuristic Grand Touring

Futuristic Grand Touring

Kia designs the Vision Meta Turismo around three main experiences: performance driving, immersive digital interaction, and lounge style comfort. This makes the concept more than a traditional electric car. It becomes a personal mobility space built to engage the senses while still delivering the excitement expected from a grand tourer. The idea is not only to move from one place to another, but to create a journey that feels emotional, interactive, and deeply personal.

Opposites United Design

Opposites United Design

Kia applies its Opposites United design philosophy by combining soft surfaces with technical geometry. The concept features an extreme cab forward layout, a low and wide profile, and a sleek silhouette that feels both futuristic and athletic. Light plays across the body to reveal sharp cores and smooth transitions, giving the car a look that feels precisely engineered yet naturally fluid. This balance between tension and harmony gives the Vision Meta Turismo its distinctive visual identity.

Exterior Innovation

Kia gives the Vision Meta Turismo a low nose, black technical front insert, and floating body effect that enhance its performance focused character. The rear moves from smooth curves into a sharp tail designed to support aerodynamic efficiency and stability at speed. Ultra slim LED lighting wraps around the rear corners, visually widening the car and emphasizing its low center of gravity. Jet aircraft inspiration also appears in the canard like structures that house technical elements such as lighting and cameras.

Digital Interior

Kia reimagines the interior as a digital lounge with two different experiences for driver and passenger. The driver area focuses on concentration and control, using an ultra slim instrument cluster, lightweight seat structure, and breathable mesh materials. The passenger seat follows the same design language but offers a more relaxed posture for enjoying augmented reality content through a 3D head up display. When parked, the passenger seat can rotate 180 degrees, allowing face to face interaction with rear passengers.

Kia adds analog style controllers to bring more emotion into electric driving. A virtual gear shifter recreates the feeling of gear changes, supported by virtual engine sounds and vibrations. A GT Boost button unlocks instant acceleration, while a driving mode dial lets the driver adjust sound, suspension feel, and overall response. The gaming inspired steering wheel also introduces three digital modes: Speedster for performance driving, Dreamer for immersive urban experiences, and Gamer for shared virtual racing when the car is parked. Together, these features turn the Vision Meta Turismo into a concept that connects technology with emotion in a fresh and playful way.
