Audi has debuted its 4th and final electric concept sphere car, Activesphere, that is designed for people who love the outdoors and have a very active lifestyle.  Here are some key facts on the EV concept:

  • All-in-one electric luxury sedan, pickup truck and off-roading EV that is Audi's most versatile concept
  • Body of a coupe but with big, 22" wheels for significant ground clearance for off-roading
  • EV can convert into a pickup truck as the back can become an open cargo bed
  • 4-door crossover with a new powertrain that is designed to drive on and off-road
  • Sits on the Premium Platform Electric powertrain or PPE that Audi is developing with fellow VW automaker Porsche, that will be deployed in 2023
  • Dual electric motors, 100 kWh battery, 436 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque with 372 mile range on a charge
  • Autonomous driving as well as steering wheel and pedals, that are retractable, for human driving
  • Audi says the car's design is elegant, as practical as an SUV and has full, off-road capabilities
  • Ground clearance can be lowered for street driving or raised for off-roading by 1.5 inches
  • Audi's most important technological innovation in Activesphere is "adaptation of augmented reality for mobility"
  • New technologies include AR, "mixed reality optics" and high tech headsets that "provide a real view of the real environment and route while displaying 3D content and interactive elements"
  • Activesphere joins Urbansphere, Grandsphere and Skysphere as Audi's vision of future mobility that combines electric and autonomous driving.
