Chinese firm Byton unveils high-tech electric SUV in Las Vegas

Updated

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas was once a place solely populated by tech companies, but in recent years more and more car manufacturers have chosen to exhibit there. The latest is Byton – a Chinese firm that's chosen CES to unveil its first car.

The Byton Concept is a premium SUV along the same lines as the Tesla Model X – emphasising a high-tech interior and bang up-to-date electric powertrain. The firm describes it as "almost production-ready", and says it will support fully autonomous driving when it enters production in 2019.
