People living in cities know how difficult it can be to find some personal space. It is with that in mind that Audi has developed the impressive Audi Urbansphere prototype, the latest model in a lineup of “sphere” prototypes unveiled since last year. While the previous models put the emphasis on luxury and performance, the all-new Audi Urbansphere puts the focus on versatility, passenger comfort and interior space. It is the Audi vehicle designed to provide the highest level of urban mobility luxury.
It features a vast interior offering 4 seats with plenty of room for everyone. These seats can tilt back up to 60 degrees and they have leg rests that extend for optimal comfort. The seats can also swivel so that your passengers can speak with each other directly. The Audi Urbansphere measures 5.51 metres long and is over 2 metres wide. To put that in perspective, that is about the size of an Audi Q7 but with only four seats inside you can imagine just how much room there is in the Audi Urbansphere.
This is an autonomous vehicle which features level 4 driving capability. That means that the vehicle can drive itself and in doing so there is no steering wheel or pedals that are visible. Only when the driver wants to take control does the steering wheel and various controls pop out. If not, you do see various control panels and there are even VR glasses which can be provided to passengers for them to entertain themselves while on the road.
The Audi Urbansphere is a fully electric vehicle as well and is built on the Audi Premium Platform Electric architecture. This platform was designed exclusively for battery-electric drive systems and offers a 120-kWh flat battery pack located under the floor. This battery powers two electric motors which develop nearly 400 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. You also get a driving range of 750 km.
It is obvious that the Audi Urbansphere will not make it to production in this specific form. However, we do know that Audi is already planning the next generation of its electric vehicles and this model shows that urban mobility and versatility as a whole will not be ignored.
