The Kia Stinger was one of those rare modern cars that earned genuine praise from enthusiasts. Its rear-wheel-drive platform and available twin-turbo V6 powertrain gave it credentials that went beyond the typical expectations attached to the Kia badge. Despite that validation, however, the Stinger never translated that appeal into a substantial commercial success.
Now, the Korean automaker appears poised to re-enter the four-door flagship space, previewing a new direction with the Vision Meta Turismo Concept, which was unveiled earlier this month as part of the brand's 80th anniversary.
History suggests that few concept cars reach production without substantial design compromises. To imagine how the Kia Meta Turismo might translate to the showroom, an unofficial rendering by Instagram user Chafreak reinterprets the dramatic concept using the brand’s current production design language. The result is a more grounded, road-ready take that subtly echoes the spirit of the departed Stinger, thanks to a shared four-door liftback silhouette.
