Made by an Apple designer, this car could work on Mars or your next shopping run
Designed by a former Apple creative, the Amble One is a futuristic EV that looks ready for Mars – but it's built for Earth
Quick Summary
The Amble One is unlike almost every electric car on the road today.
Created by ex-Apple designer Niko Mihic, its minimalist design, panoramic glass cabin and modular platform are intended to tackle everything from the school run to rough off-road adventures.
If you thought today's electric cars were starting to look a bit samey, the Amble One is here to shake things up. Revealed by new mobility startup Amble, it's a concept that blends the practicality of an SUV with the futuristic styling of something you'd expect to see exploring the surface of Mars.
The brains behind it is Niko Mihic, a designer who previously spent years at Apple before moving into the automotive world. That influence is immediately obvious.
The Amble One adopts an ultra-clean, minimalist aesthetic, with smooth body panels, soft curves and an expansive glasshouse that gives it a distinctly premium feel. It looks less like a traditional car and more like a beautifully designed piece of consumer tech that just happens to have four wheels.
This isn't your usual concept car, though. This one has been designed with versatility in mind. The Amble One, aiming to please all, uses a modular platform that can be adapted for everything from family transport to commercial work or outdoor adventures.
The cabin has been designed to be flexible too, with configurable seating and a clean, uncluttered dashboard that puts the emphasis on space rather than buttons. It's a really practical take on futuristic design.
The vehicle has generous ground clearance, chunky tyres and proportions that suggest it could cope with rough terrain just as comfortably as city streets. It genuinely looks like it could trundle across another planet without anyone batting an eyelid.
Of course, there's no suggestion you'll actually be driving one across the Red Planet anytime soon. Instead, Amble says the design aims to encourage people to spend more time outdoors, creating a vehicle that can transition effortlessly between weekday commuting and weekend exploration. It's a refreshing change from the race to produce ever-faster electric SUVs.
There's no confirmed production date or pricing just yet, and plenty could change before the Amble One reaches buyers. Even so, it's one of the more intriguing EV concepts to appear this year.
