The Byton M-Byte was publicly unveiled at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show. The car was originally called the Concept, however, this was revised to M-Byte, when the K-Byte was unveiled. It has a 4K curved 48-inch infotainment display,[2] 7 inch display on steering wheel with integrated airbag and will feature in-car gesture control technology.[3] Mass production is expected in mid-2019 and arrival in the United States by 2020.[4] It is expected to have a starting price of $45,000 and 250 mile range[5] upgradable to 323 miles.[6]

However, since Byton was bankrupt and work with manufacturing partner Foxconn was halted indefinitely, the Byton M-Byte might have been cancelled as the result along with the Byton K-Byte.
