Kia Unveils Vision Meta Turismo Concept – Likely Preview of Future EV8
Kia marked its 80th anniversary by revealing the Vision Meta Turismo, a sporty electric concept car expected to inspire the production EV7 or EV8. The sleek grand tourer blends retro-inspired long-distance touring aesthetics with Kia’s forward-thinking “Opposites United” EV design language.
Key Highlights:
- Design: Features a low-slung GT silhouette reminiscent of the Stinger, with an aggressive front fascia and elongated proportions. Positioned as a potential rival to the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan.
- Interior: Offers a futuristic “lounge-inspired” cabin with a yoke-style steering wheel, three interactive AR HUD modes (Speedster, Dreamer, Gamer), and 3D floating projection technology.
- Tech: Integrates smart glass and augmented reality to overlay navigation/performance data onto the windshield, creating an immersive driving experience.
- Production Plans: Expected to slot into Kia’s EV lineup as the EV8, potentially arriving as a flagship performance model with GT branding.
The concept coincides with Kia’s strategy to electrify models from the EV1 to EV9. While full specifications remain undisclosed, the automaker promises more details soon.
