Audi's boxy van concept is meant to be an oasis in dense urban areas when it goes on sale in Asia.
In a press release, Audi chairman Markus Duesmann said that engineers and designers built a van to exemplify the wants of its Chinese customer base.
"By not needing as much open functional space for cooling like that required of an [internal combustion engine] vehicle, automakers really have a blank canvas and opportunity to play and tweak with the front faces of EVs, adding exclusive texturing that even includes clean creative integration of daytime running lights, turn signals, etc.," he said.
A production version of the Urbansphere is likely due out in the next few years for the Asian market. Audi says that its adaptive air suspension with semi-active damper control makes for a smooth ride whether on bumpy downtown streets or smooth highways.
