Sony takes a step closer to selling its own EVs as it shows off a new SUV and launches a dedicated mobility company
The company's business model will revolve around Sony's in-house-developed artificial-intelligence and robotics technologies, which it said will"help realise a world where everyone can live in harmony with robots on a daily basis, fill people with emotion, and contribute to society".
As part of this expansion into the mobility sector, an initiative Sony refers to as Vision-S, it has revealed a second bespoke EV concept in the form of the Vision-S 02 SUV. The new seven-seater uses the same platform and connectivity technology as its saloon sibling and is driven by a 268bhp electric motor on each axle.
Sony hasn't released performance figures beyond confirming that the SUV will be able to exceed 112mph, nor detailed its battery capacity. Tesla Model YLike its saloon sibling, it has been presented in seemingly production-ready form, with Sony even highlighting the extra space afforded by its folding rear seats.
