Being part of Stellantis grants Chrysler access to a wide range of platforms and powertrains, making the development of new products a breeze. One model that is often overlooked, although not by everyone, is the Concorde.
Do you recall the Chrysler Concorde? It was a mid-size car that was introduced in 1993 and was closely related to the LHS, New Yorker, Eagle Vision, and Dodge Intrepid. With a starting price just above $18,000, the Concorde was assembled in Newark, Delaware, and Brampton, Canada. All models were equipped with a V6 engine, available in two different sizes: 3.3 and 3.5 liters.
Chrysler continued to produce the Concorde until 1997, with regular updates each model year. The second generation, introduced in 1997, featured a more futuristic design while maintaining its core characteristics. The engine options remained V6, but expanded to four different choices. Production of the Concorde ceased in 2003, along with its Dodge counterpart.
You might be curious as to why we are dedicating an entire article to a car that has been out of production for more than two decades and was never particularly thrilling to begin with. The reason is Nihar Mazumdar, who has presented an unofficial modern interpretation of the Chrysler Concorde on Behance.
This conceptual 2025 model draws inspiration from the Citroen C5 X, a vehicle that blurs the line between station wagons and crossovers. By staying true to the essence of the C5 X, the imagined Concorde retains a familiar design. It features a new front grille, as this is an electric digital proposal, along with distinctive taillights, a revised rear bumper, and a few other subtle modifications that differentiate it from the C5 X.
Transforming the Citroen into a brand-new Concorde would be a relatively straightforward task, especially if Chrysler were to follow a similar approach. Given its elevated styling, it is possible that such a vehicle could find success in the market and justify the investment. However, we would lean towards the idea of Chrysler introducing a new 300 with a powerful V8 engine. Nevertheless, a new Concorde wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
