After a sneak peek in December, Kia is finally ready to reveal all the details of its Vision Meta Turismo concept car. It’s clear that the sports car is designed to fulfill the brand’s long-term approach to EVs, including what you’ll be doing when you’re not even moving.
Angular yet elegant fastback design meant to be consistent with the “Opposites United” design language seen on cars Like the EV6but offers a “lounge-inspired” interior that pays homage to the grand tours of the 1960s. This includes a 180-degree swivel front passenger seat (for social events) and a large, panoramic glass roof when parked.
There’s even a virtual stick shift
The Vision Meta Turismo may be billed as a touring car, but the Kia has a few touches aimed at sporty driving on any road.
It relies on an “ultra-slim” instrument cluster, a breathable lightweight seat, analogue controls (including optional extras) and a precise yet intuitive rectangular steering wheel. video game controllers. According to Kia, the wide-angle augmented reality (AR) head-up display provides an “immersive” driving experience.
The concept also borrows Hyundai Ioniq N series ways to sway the average sports car enthusiast. A joystick-style virtual stick shift lets you shift gears like you’re driving a gas-powered manual car. The buttons provide both launch control for drag racing and ‘GT Boost’, which provides an F1-style power boost. You can adjust the suspension sensitivity, ride feel and virtual engine sounds to your liking.
This is a design job, so Kia doesn’t provide horsepower or other specs.
Passenger features: AR and game center
You can race when you park
Kia is betting big on AR as a draw for Vision Meta Turismo occupants, even when the car is stationary. Along with the driver-centric Speedster mode, there are Dreamer and Gamer modes, which respectively respond to journeys through “lively urban environments” (complete with AR glasses) and stationary entertainment.
Gamer mode promises virtual racing using both the head-up display and the steering wheel. Games on Tesla cars. There’s even an outdoor projector to create a “group game center” so you and your friends can play in the parking lot after a long drive.
The front passenger seat posture is optimized for AR content via the head-up display. The structure stands apart from the rest of the interior to offer a “comfortable, emotional” setting.
Kia will make a production model
Wait for the items to arrive in future cars
Kia isn’t saying whether it will The production version of the Vision Meta Turismo. As of this writing, the only way to see it is to visit Milan Design Week, which runs through April 26, 2026. We wouldn’t expect some features like giant wheels or an almost glass roof to ship on the next generation of Kia EVs.
As with many concept cars, some elements are a real possibility reach the cars you can afford. More practical features like design cues and virtual transmission may find their way into other cars. Kia describes the one-off as a “futuristic vision” of evolving mobility.
It’s a preview, not a prototype
In that sense, the Vision Meta Turismo is less of a prototype than a broad vision of where Kia’s performance-oriented cars will go next. The company wants to adapt its EVs to the modern automotive landscape, and that means experimenting with both visual changes and the overall in-car experience.
