The Sony Vision-S is an all-electric concept sedan that was developed by Sony and first unveiled at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show. It was designed in collaboration with various automotive companies including Magna International,[2][3][4][5] Continental AG, Elektrobit,[6] Benteler, and Bosch, featuring the company's latest technologies related to the automotive sector, such as always-on connectivity, sensory devices, and autonomous driving.[7][8]

Design[]

The Vision-S is equipped with 33 sensors, including CMOS, solid state lidar, radar and time-of-flight cameras which collectively form an advanced driver assistance suite called "Safety Cocoon". Inside, a panoramic touchscreen is built into the dashboard, accompanied by Sony's 360 Reality Audio. The Vision-S has a dual-motor setup with two 200 kW electric motors and all-wheel drive. Sony claims the car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 4.8 seconds, and the top speed is rated at 240 km/h (149 mph). A double wishbone suspension is used with an air spring system.[1]
