Activesphere does a lot. The Active Sphere exterior looks like his Fastback his coupe, with his SUV-inspired design with a steep roofline. It also has an integrated pickup-truck-like bed with a tailgate attached to the rear. What’s more, the bottom part folds down like a pickup his truck, and the rear glass also slides up to reveal plenty of space to store two bikes.
The interior is clean and minimal with no screens or even a speedometer cluster.

In terms of size, the Audi ActiveSphere spans approximately 4.93 m in longitude and 2.07 m in width. At 1.3m in length, it is almost as long as the Audi Q8. As for the frontal fascia, a rather sober design can be seen on either side of the spire. The headlights are slit-like with his DRLs curved inwards, and according to Audi, come with two-piece holographic HIDs that seemingly look like pupils. The slim rear taillights use ultra-fine Micro LED technology.
interior
When it comes to the interior, where scissor doors open on each side to greet the driver and occupants, the Active Sphere hindsight redefines the infotainment and the entire cabin. First, the interior is clean and minimal with no screens or even a speedometer cluster. Everything is controlled by augmented reality-backed holograms and hand gestures. Audi offers four sunglasses-like headsets for accessing augmented reality features. Driving the car in autonomous mode eliminates the steering and pedals and gives you a big, clean dash with almost nothing.

The Audi Activesphere is a complete EV powered by Audi’s latest PPE (Premium Platform Electric) technology with a 100 kWh battery. The battery can be fast charged with an 800 V charger and can charge the car from 0% to 80% in about 25 minutes. The slow charger splits the battery into two and charges them simultaneously, allowing fast charging with PPE technology. Other than that, the Activesphere puts out around 370 kW of power and 720 Nm of torque. This is enough because it has two motors.
In general, the Audi Sphere concept shows what to expect when it comes to cars of the near future.
