Kia’s Vision Meta Turismo: A Glimpse Into Kia’s Electric Performance Future
As Kia celebrates 80 years of innovation, the brand has unveiled a bold new concept car — the Vision Meta Turismo — and here at Tynan Kia Sutherland, we’re excited about what this means for the future of Kia performance vehicles in Australia.
Building on the passion that surrounded the much-loved Kia Stinger, the Vision Meta Turismo hints at an electrified successor that blends performance, immersive technology and modern touring elegance.
At Tynan Kia Sutherland, we’ve long seen how popular the Stinger became among Australian drivers seeking rear-wheel-drive excitement. The new concept proves that Kia hasn’t stepped away from the performance space — it’s simply evolving.
A New Direction for Kia Performance — With Tynan Kia Sutherland Watching Closely
Kia shared limited early details, but describes the Vision Meta Turismo as a reinterpretation of three key experiences:
- High-performance driving
- Immersive digital interaction
- Next-level spaciousness
These pillars echo the same ethos that shaped the original Kia GT Concept back in 2011 — the car that eventually paved the way for the Stinger.
Kia says the new design pays homage to the “speed and elegance of 1960s long-distance touring,” signalling that the future of grand touring at Kia will be electric, refined and technologically advanced.
Sharp, Expressive Exterior Lines
Visually, the concept breaks away from the flowing, muscular character of the Stinger. Instead, Kia has gone with:
- a sharply sculpted front end
- bold, geometric creases along the body
- minimalist lighting with futuristic design language
This modern aesthetic signals a clear movement toward EV design priorities — improved aerodynamics, enhanced digital lighting and futuristic proportions.
A Revolutionary Cabin That Redefines Immersive Driving
The interior of the Vision Meta Turismo continues Kia’s transition toward digital-first design, with features such as:
- integrated digital instrumentation
- a fully augmented reality head-up display
- a cabin free from traditional screens
- multiple customisable “digital modes”
The three immersive modes include:
- Speedster – for high-performance driving
- Dreamer – focused on comfort and relaxation
- Gamer – transforming the vehicle into an entertainment lounge
The driver's cockpit stands out with a yellow, yoke-style steering wheel and a driver-focused seat, while the rest of the cabin features a calm off-white theme.
Here at Tynan Kia Sutherland, we see this as a strong signal that upcoming Kia EV models will push far beyond typical interiors — leaning into innovation, personalisation and next-level comfort.
Electric Power Feels Inevitable — And Exciting for Kia Australia
Kia has not revealed specific powertrain details, but given the packaging, design and concept intent, it’s widely expected to be fully electric.
While it may not carry the Stinger nameplate forward, rumours suggest the production version could emerge as the Kia EV8, positioned as the flagship EV in Kia’s expanding electric range.
If this becomes reality, Tynan Kia Sutherland expects this model to sit at the top of Kia’s performance EV lineup — delivering the excitement Stinger fans love, powered by the latest electric technology.
