Automaker Kia has just pulled the covers off its futuristic concept, Kia Vision Meta Turismo — and wow, it’s quite a statement. Unveiled as part of Kia’s 80th-anniversary celebration, this car isn’t your everyday sedan; it’s more like a “what if cars of the future looked and felt this good?” kind of experiment. The idea is to honor the spirit of classic long-distance GT touring cars from the 1960s — think relaxed highway runs, style and comfort — but rebuild that idea with a fully modern, electric and digital mindset.
Bold Looks and Futuristic Styling
On first glance, the Vision Meta Turismo grabs your attention with sleek, sharp lines, a low-slung fastback profile, and a roof that melts into a panoramic glasshouse. The design follows Kia’s “Opposites United” philosophy — smooth curves meet precise geometry, softness mixes with sharpness — giving the car a fluid yet edgy character.
A Lounge-Style Cabin with High-Tech DNA
Step inside, and it’s clear Kia’s not thinking “car” but “experience.” The huge glass roof and windows flood the cabin with light, giving it an airy, almost lounge-like feel. Instead of a conventional steering wheel and dashboard, there’s a D-shaped “yoke-style” steering control and a small digital display. The seats themselves seem to be designed for long, comfortable rides — especially the front passenger chair, which leans more towards a lounge-seat vibe.
Driving Modes for Every Mood
Kia says the Vision Meta Turismo supports three distinct driving or “cabin” modes:
-
Speedster — for a sporty, performance-first feel.
-
Dreamer — a relaxed mode for chilled cruising.
-
Gamer — bringing in fun, perhaps entertainment, for passengers or even driver moods.
Switching modes changes not just how the car feels, but how the AR HUD displays information — giving different visual vibes depending on whether you’re racing, relaxing, or just hanging out. It’s a fascinating mix of driving and lifestyle, as if this car isn’t just transport, but a moving living space.
Production Plans? Not Yet — But a Strong Hint at the Future
As exciting as it looks, Kia confirms this remains a “concept.” There’s no official word on a production version, no confirmed powertrain or specs, and no guarantee it’ll hit Indian roads. For now, it’s a design exercise, a vision of where mobility could go — maybe the template for a future electric GT sedan.
