AUDI A8 EV OR AUDI A9 E-TRON? THIS WILL BE THE FUTURE AUDI LUXURY EV! (GRANDSPHERE)

EV Channels Review

The Audi Grandsphere concept, potentially the future A8 EV or A9 e-tron, presents a bold vision for luxury electric mobility set for a 2024 release. The reviewer highlights its striking exterior design, emphasizing a blend of form and function with a long wheelbase offering ample interior space. Inside, the cabin is lauded for its 'living room atmosphere,' featuring sustainable materials, a real climate dial, and innovative technology like laser projection infotainment and eye-tracking controls. The reviewer is particularly impressed by the potential for Level 4 autonomous driving, which allows for a lounge-like seating experience. However, the reviewer notes that some futuristic elements, such as the suicide doors on the concept, will be replaced by conventional doors in the production model. Performance figures are impressive, with over 700 horsepower and a 750 km range, supported by 800-volt charging technology. While the concept showcases advanced features, the reviewer questions the practicality of some interfaces, like gesture controls, and prefers a traditional monitor over the projected screen. Overall, the Grandsphere is seen as a significant step towards Audi's future luxury EV offerings, balancing design, technology, and sustainability.
