The Audi Activesphere is a concept vehicle that is set to be revealed on January 26, 2023. It is part of a family of concept vehicles developed by Audi's Artemis skunkworks team, which also includes the Grandsphere, Skysphere, and Urbansphere. All of the concepts are electric vehicles based on the Volkswagen Group's PPE platform and feature fully self-driving systems.
The Activesphere is expected to be a coupe-like crossover designed for active lifestyles, with off-road capability and possibly a rugged design. It is also expected to feature some communication technology that will create a unique experience beyond the vehicle itself. While the concepts are not intended for production, elements of them are likely to influence the design of future EVs from the automaker as it shifts its business model to focus solely on electric vehicles.
