Having booted out the world"s wildest automotive fabricators for SEMA, and many middle-aged men dressed up as superheroes for Comic Con, this week the Las Vegas Convention Centre will play host to the Consumer Electronics Show. It"s Inspector Gadget"s favourite show, but, given the rise of alternative powertrains and autonomous driving tech, it"s become increasingly important for the car world. The first big reveal from CES 2019 is the Byton M-Byte. No, it"s not the technological cousin of M People, rather the production version of the Crossover Concept that we saw last year. It"s a simply-designed fully-electric SUV from a Chinese start-up that"s chock full of tech (AI, 5G and an absolute whopper of a screen) and will be available before the year is out. Two versions of the M-Byte will be available; an entry-level 71-kWh variant with 250 miles of range and a starting price of around 35,000, and one with a bigger battery and 95-kWh motor producing up to 320 miles on a single charge. Now, you"ve heard numbers and prices like that in the EV world before. But where the M-Byte takes the game further is with its additional tech.
