Future of Premium Mobility

German luxury car maker Audi, owned by VW, is rapidly expanding its lineup of electric vehicles.  It just unveiled a stunning new concept called Activesphere, which provides "maximum variability" for off and on-roading.  In essence, Activesphere is Audi's very rugged take on electric, autonomous driving.  This is Audi's 4th new Sphere EV of the past year.  Activesphere is being called a next-G all-roader.  It's a sedan/SUV-like vehicle equipped for serious off-roading.  And autonomous driving appears to be a big part of the ride.  Activesphere is the latest "Sphere" for Audi, which includes Urbansphere, Skysphere and Grandsphere.  These EVs pack significant ranges up to 466 miles on a charge.

Awesome New Technologies

The technologies that Audi is developing for these Sphere concepts are awesome.  Skysphere, with the push of a button, can convert from a grand tourer into a sports car by changing the wheelbase.  Grandsphere is a sleek, luxury limo.  Urbansphere is a spacious luxury minivan/multi-purpose vehicle aimed specifically at the Chinese market. All of them have autonomous friendly interiors to help you relax and make good use of your time as you are driven to your destination.  Activesphere is a totally different design.  It couples a sleek, smooth-lined SUV-like vehicle with big, beefy tires and wheels. It looks like an all-business executive vehicle that's also ready for the great outdoors.  Audi says the vehicle will combine elegance, suitability for everyday use and performance packed into a new design for those with active lifestyles and seeking maximum possibilities for their ride.  It's the "Next Chapter" in Spheres that will be officially unveiled in early 2023.
