Byton M-Byte: specs, price, horsepower, top speed and acceleration 0 – 100

The Byton M-Byte is an electric crossover that is the first production model from Chinese electric car manufacturer Byton.

 

The Byton M-Byte is more compact than the Tesla Model X and is similar in size to the BMW X5: length 4,875 mm, width 2,195 mm (with mirrors), height 1,665 mm. The wheelbase is 2,950 mm. Compared to the concept, there are additional headlight sections and hidden door handles, conventional rearview mirrors are installed instead of cameras, but otherwise the crossover has retained its original proportions and design.

One of the unique technologies implemented in M-Byte is facial recognition, which can be used instead of a conventional key to lock and unlock the electric car.
Drivers also have access to the Byton Life app, which enables the car to interact with mobile devices. In doing so, the car has a digital learning capability whereby, while analysing schedules, locations, preferences, and data from the app, the car generates specific memos for each user. In addition, M-Byte can recognize the voices of different users.
