News Synopsis

Sony showcased its concept EV, the Vision-S sedan in 2020. Many believed it was just an attempt from the company to test the market. But at CES 2022, Sony made it clear that it is going to launch its own EV.

Sony has partnered up with different automotive companies for the creation of the Vision-S sedan. It has also road-tested the vehicle and has released a series of videos for the demonstration of its design and development process. 

Sony is planning to establish an operating company “Sony Mobility Inc.” to explore entry into the EV market. The President and CEO of Sony, Kenichiro Yoshida also presented a brand new concept car, the Vision-S SUV. The Vision-S SUV also has the same EV/cloud platform as the Vision-S sedan. It will be powered by two electric motors. 

The company has yet not announced when the company will launch both cars. The productions will start in the spring of this year and it would not take long for Sony’s first commercial electric vehicle to be available in the market.
