In celebration of the official opening of the Byton's Shanghai Design Studio today, the company unveiled photos of the interior of the production version of the M-Byte SUV. The photos unveil the wraparound dashboard, 7-inch Driver Tablet, 8-inch BYTON Central Touchpad, and physical buttons on the steering wheel, but also the main user interface (UI) design style. Byton stresses that on the M-Byte, 90% of the innovative design from the concept car was retained in the production version, including the 48-inch Shared Experience Display, Smart Surfaces, and the 12-degrees inward rotating front seats.

"BYTON has a well-developed global design team in both Germany and China, with top designers and specialists from 17 countries working together," said Benoît Jacob, Senior Vice President of Design at BYTON. "The diverse cultural atmosphere of the team allows designers to fully interact with one another and understand the lifestyles, habits, and needs of consumers from different countries. Together, BYTON designers are committed to creating leading smart mobility for consumers around the world."

At the beginning of June, Byton M-Byte's first body-in-white successfully rolled off the line in Byton's plant in Nanjing. The exact date of the official launch of the production car is yet unknown.
