Kia Meridian Concept — A Touring-Focused SUV Inspired by the Sportage and Seltos
A personal concept exploring a possible gap in Kia’s SUV lineup.
The Meridian takes the refinement, visibility and proportions of the Sportage and combines them with the more upright stance and cleaner front-end identity of the Seltos.
The idea was to create a touring-focused5 seater SUV rather than a 7-seat family vehicle:
- higher ground clearance
- softer long-distance suspension tuning
- larger cargo area
- full-size spare wheel
- practical touring capability without becoming oversized
Designed with South African driving realities in mind while still keeping a modern, premium feel.
