The company has been teasing their new product with vibrant colors such as red, pink, and purple. Over the past six days, they have already released three teasers, and today’s teaser is likely the final one. This is not because Chrysler has run out of ideas, but simply because they are running out of time. The official unveiling of the concept car will take place on Tuesday, February 13.
The most recent teaser, the third one, provides a bird’s eye view of what appears to be the rear end of a vehicle, suggesting a sports car design.
According to the first teaser released on February 6, the concept car is rumored to be named the Halcyon. This name is derived from ancient literature, where the Halcyon is a mythical bird that builds nests at sea during the winter solstice.
This explains the bird’s eye view in the latest teaser. Additionally, the concept car is expected to draw inspiration from Chrysler’s Airflow design study, which was introduced at the Consumers Electronic Show in 2022.
Chrysler emphasizes that the concept car will feature an exterior and interior design focused on sustainability, as well as futuristic technology.
The production model is expected to be built on the STLA Large platform, which will be used for cars, crossovers, and SUVs in the D and E segments, according to Stellantis. It remains to be seen which body style the concept car will adopt.
Reports suggest that the vehicle will be equipped with battery packs ranging from 85 to 118 kWh, providing a range of up to 500 miles (805 kilometers) on a single charge.
As the brand moves towards an electric future and has high expectations, the concept car is likely to provide a preview of their first EV, which is set to debut soon.
Chrysler entered the world of electrification with the Pacifica minivan, a plug-in hybrid that continues to be a leader in its segment, a segment that the brand created 40 years ago.
Tomorrow, the first Chrysler EV will be unveiled in its production form, with production scheduled to begin in 2025, coinciding with the automaker’s 100-year anniversary. This will be the first step towards a fully electric portfolio, although it appears that Chrysler may have fallen behind schedule.
Nevertheless, transitioning to a complete electric lineup should not pose much difficulty for the brand, as their current portfolio consists of only one vehicle: the Pacifica minivan.
Chrysler has set up a countdown timer on their official website, indicating the time remaining until the concept car is unveiled. At the time of writing, there are approximately 16 hours left until the event.
