Audi Unveils the Activesphere Concept - A Luxury Coupé That Turns Into a Pickup

Audi has unveiled the activesphere concept, the fourth model in the series. The car is a luxury coupé that can transform into a pickup for transporting sports gear. There is even enough space for two e-bikes in the cargo bed.

It offers a range of over 600 km, and extremely fast charging times thanks to 800-volt technology.

In less than 25 minutes, the 100 kWh battery charges from 5 to 80 percent.

High-tech headsets provide a view of the real environment and the route, while simultaneously displaying 3D content and interactive elements– individually configurable for drivers and passengers.

When the Audi activesphere concept is driving in autonomous mode, the dashboard, steering wheel, and pedals disappear into an invisible position. 

The activesphere concept follows on from the Audi skysphere roadster in 2021, and both the Audi grandsphere sedan, and the Audi urbansphere space concept in April 2022.

Oliver Hoffmann, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development, says: “The sphere concept vehicles show our vision for the premium mobility of the future. We are experiencing a paradigm shift, especially in the interior of our future Audi models. The interior becomes a place where the passengers feel at home and can connect to the world outside at the same time. The most important technical innovation in the Audi activesphere is our adaptation of augmented reality for mobility. Audi dimensions creates the perfect synthesis between the surroundings and digital reality.”

The new concept car from Audi was conceived and designed at the Audi Design Studio in Malibu.
