Sony Electric Vehicle Coming Soon — Vision-S and Vision-S 02 Electric SUV: All You Need To Know

The world is switching over to electric mobility and the traditional automotive brands are working towards the same. Not wanting to be left behind are several tech companies. A few brands that earned their reputation for making smartphones, computers, speakers, TVs, and other consumer electronics are now eyeing the EV market and Sony is one of them.

It was back in 2020 that Sony first displayed the Vision-S concept. It was a futuristic electric vehicle that looked great and had a lot of promise. However, back then, this EV was only viewed as a display of what Sony is capable of doing as the Japanese brand hadn't displayed any clear intentions to enter the EV market.

In the months that followed, the Sony Vision-S was spotted testing on public roads and quite naturally, everyone expected the Sony electric sedan to be launched sooner or later. Now, several months after the Vision-S was first displayed, Sony has displayed a new EV and this time, it is an SUV.

CES is the largest consumer electronics show in the world and over the last few years, the show has seen a steady increase in the number of electric vehicles being displayed. The new Sony electric SUV was also displayed at CES 2022.

There are no concrete details of the new Sony Vision-S 02 SUV or the powertrain that lies beneath it. However, it is expected to feature the same powertrain as the Vision-S and similar technology too could be used.

Sony had previously confirmed that the Vision-S will be powered by a 536bhp powertrain that comprises of one motor at the front and another at the rear. This allows the Sony Vision-S to have all-wheel-drive capabilities. Performance is brisk too, with 0-100km/h being covered in under 5 seconds and the electric sedan is capable of a top speed of around 240km/h.

Not so surprisingly, the Sony Vision-S comes loaded with technology. It has a gigantic infotainment screen, 5G connectivity that also gives it OTA updates capability. The sedan also features around 40 sensors that measure various parameters at all times to provide the users with a seamless driving experience. The sedan also features autonomous capabilities.

Needless to say, the new electric SUV from Sony will also feature these technologies and more. More details on the powertrain, technology, and launch timeline are expected to come out soon.
