Activesphere concept: off-road EV crossover

The Activesphere is the brand’s latest addition to its next-generation concept line-up, originally revealed as a trio of cars – the shape-shifting Skysphere sports coupé, the Urbansphere MPV and the Grandsphere executive sedan. Taking the form of a rugged, off-road crossover, the Activesphere will provide off-road capabilities for the adventurous, according to Audi.

Likely to be based on the PPE platform shared by the Urbansphere and Grandsphere, the Activesphere features a raised stature and a large set of wheels, with contrasting sleek bodywork and narrow, sharply designed headlights. These design features indicate that the model will have some degree of off-road capability.

Although Audi has remained tight-lipped about specific features, all four concepts are loaded with next-generation technologies, including level four autonomous driving capabilities and creative solutions to improve practicality, relaxation and sustainability.

Audi has previewed a handful of different battery technologies for its concepts. The Urbansphere, which will be the firm’s largest car yet, is fitted with a 120kWh battery with up to 466 miles of range, with charging speeds of up to 270kW.

The Activesphere will make its first public debut at Audi’s “Celebration of Progress” event.
