Unveiled during Kia’s 80th anniversary celebration, the wild, angular Vision Meta Turismo concept looked less like a future EV production car and more like something ripped from a Cyberpunk video game. Billed as part sedan, part minivan, the edgy Kia concept seemed too outrageous for the real world. But according to a report from Autocar, that may be exactly the kind of thinking behind a possible revival of the Kia Stinger. But there’s just one problem, and it may be serious enough to keep the car from ever reaching production.
The report draws from an interview with Kia design chief Karim Habib and explores the chances of turning the Vision Meta Turismo into something real. The concept is tied to Kia’s “Opposites United: Evolution” design language, a philosophy that helped shape the Kia EV6 and has influenced every Kia EV through the upcoming EV2. The idea was to imagine a new kind of sport sedan for Kia’s electric future, one that could finally deliver the Stinger successor enthusiasts were promised after the original car was discontinued.
