A Closer Look at the Futuristic Design of the 2024 Byton M-Byte

Recently, it has been readied for production again. Byton is putting M-Byte through brute-force testing with about 100 prototypes running.

Byton will open an R&D center at its new Nanjing factory, where it will continue to push the envelope on electric vehicles, user interface, and transportation technologies,
