Gyon has not released target production numbers for its new sedan, but says the new car will have 310 to 434 miles of electric range. Two figures that precise could indicate the car will have two battery options.
The company also said the car will have “the highest-level autonomous driving system in the world,” which it will source from Bosch.
Bosch is planning to launch a self-driving taxi service in Silicon Valley in partnership with Daimler as early as next year.

Among its few claims made public, Gyon said that its as-yet-unnamed car will accelerate from 0-62 mph in 4.0 seconds. That’s a quick number, but not a breakthrough for a premium electric car. That may indicate that the car will be more focused on luxury than performance.
Gyon will join the ranks of Faraday Future, Byton, and SF motors in the boutique, ultra-luxury electric-far field.
