Kia’s Electric Stinger Successor Quietly Showed Off A Second Bodystyle

Kia has quietly offered a fresh glimpse of its upcoming electric successor to the Stinger, and the sighting suggests two body styles may be on the way. In an official design studio video, a scale model of a low, sleek shooting brake appeared on a desk alongside the Vision Meta Turismo sedan. The silhouette is unmistakably sporty, hinting that Kia is exploring a more practical yet still stylish hatchback-like variant for its flagship electric performance car.

The Stinger was a rear-wheel-drive sedan that carved a niche for itself as an affordable alternative to German grand tourers. Its electric replacement, expected to ride on Hyundai Motor Group’s dedicated E-GMP platform, will enter a rapidly growing segment in Saudi Arabia. Potential rivals include the Tesla Model 3, the BMW i4, and the Polestar 2, all of which are already sold locally. A shooting brake body style would set Kia apart by offering extra cargo space and a more distinctive look compared to the standard sedan form.

For Saudi buyers, the arrival of a second body style could make the electric Stinger successor more versatile, especially for families or those who want the clean lines of a coupé without sacrificing usability. However, shoppers should keep an eye on official range and charging figures when they emerge, as long-distance travel remains a key concern in the Kingdom. Also watch for local pricing and trim levels, as Kia typically positions Stinger models as premium offerings within its lineup.

The design video confirms that Kia is at least toying with both forms, though no production timeline has been announced. Given the popularity of the original Stinger in the Gulf region, an electric successor with a choice of sedan or shooting brake would likely generate significant interest. Until Kia unveils the final production car, we can only speculate on how much of this styling will make it to showroom floors.
