Audi Urbansphere Concept Debut

 

Audi is launching itself full speed into the future, with a series of impressive concept cars, the latest of which is the Audi Urbansphere concept; a new model focused specifically on densely populated cities. 

The new concept car is the fruit of research operations conducted both in Beijing and Ingolstadt design studios, in which customer interviews were the main inspiration for the design. The process focused mainly on interior comfort and luxury, seeking revolutionary ways to isolate the passengers from the hustle and bustle of busy roads. The exterior was then designed as an adequate envelope for all the interior features.

The cabin is extremely spacious, having four seats in two rows, allowing for more personal space for each passenger. And giving more freedom for seats movements and adjustments, even giving them the possibility to turn towards the doors when a passenger is ready to get in or out of the car.

The main interior feature is maybe the dominant infotainment system, a large transparent screen that pivots down from the ceiling. The passengers will have the liberty to share the screen or split it. 

More impressive technologies are experimented with, within this model, like eye-tracking cameras and stress detectors, giving the occupants an even more relaxed trip.

Front row passengers can monitor the car easily, the awesome interactive instrument system will be displayed on the wood panel in front of them, on whatever section the passenger is touching. 

The car will be a level 4 autonomous car, just like other Audi concepts, which means that old school drivers can have full control of the car if they wish to, while always having the auto-pilot system available, a level of technology that should be available on the market before 2030, according to Audi.

Another prominent feature of this car is its huge size, with 216.9 inches in length, with such dimensions, the Audi Urbansphere concept is the largest car Audi has ever built, a logical choice considering the brand’s intent on making it a luxury lounge on wheels.

The exterior takes a minimalist classy tone, with sleek lines all around, the main piece is the steep windshield that keeps going on to merge with the flat roof.

The selected platform for the new concept is Audi’s premium platform electric. This particular platform has a 120 kilowatt-hours battery, and two electric motors producing a total of 396 horsepower.

Most of the new technologies that we see in new concept cars are focused mainly on autonomy and safety. This means that drivers still have to worry about their car’s vulnerability to the harsh environment. 

Dust, dirt, UV rays, hail, and more ... that is a list of what can ruin your car for you. That’s why you need to take action and provide adequate care and protection for her.
