AUDI is gearing up for what could be the most significant period of launches in its history, with more than 20 new models set to arrive over the next three years. A wave of cutting-edge EVs will revamp its range, and to tease one of these models, the firm has unveiled the Activesphere concept. It's the last of Audi's 'sphere' concepts - including the Grandsphere luxury saloon, Skysphere roadster and Urbansphere electric MPV - and the Activesphere is a rugged, high-riding coupe-SUV. It could go on sale in 2027. The brand is plotting a rival to the Land Rover Defender and Mercedes G-Class within the next few years, and according to Audi's Head of Design Marc Lichte, this could take the form of the Activesphere. "We have a history of rallying success in the eighties and nineties, we have the Quattro brand, we have to make a rugged SUV. I can tell you that this car will not look like a copy of the Defender or the G-Class," he told us.
