Chinese automaker Byton has
teased its upcoming sedan concept vehicle, set to premiere at CES Asia in
Shanghai this June. Two separate images of the concept have been released,
and while neither provides many details, they do reveal that the car’s design
will be reminiscent of the Byton SUV unveiled last year.
With this in mind, we
can see small front and rear overhangs, the outline of a large cabin, a sleek
roof and a pair of sensors that pop out of the roof.
The Byton sedan will share its
platform with the SUV and be followed up by a seven-seat MPV. The sedan should
launch in China in 2021, roughly two years after the SUV hits the market in
Byton’s home country. The SUV will land in Europe and the United States in
2020, so it’s reasonable to assume that the sedan will hit the shores of the
Old Continent in 2022.
Speaking to Autocar about this vehicle, Byton design
chief Benoit Jacob said the company envisioned three models from the outset. Like
the SUV and MPV, the Byton sedan will be built at a plant in Nanjing, China.
