KIA says it's ready for a new halo model to join its range after it achieved another record-breaking year for global sales.
-
The company's incredible growth over the past decade has established impressive market share in most key regions, with an enviable spread of both ICE and EV models.
But according to the brand, a new halo product could illuminate the firm's path ahead, in terms of both design and technology.
We've already been given a glimpse of what this could look like, thanks to the Meta Turismo concept revealed late last year.
After speaking with Jochen Paesen, new head of advanced design at Kia, we now know that it does indeed preview an upcoming all-electric flagship model.
