Unveiling the Obscure: A Deeper Dive
Stellantis recently unveiled a tantalizing preview of Chrysler’s upcoming electric vehicle prototype, which may potentially be the brand’s first ever production EV built upon the Airflow platform. While the teaser image may seem enigmatic at first glance, it conceals a mysterious message that could possibly offer insight into its name.
The car company did not disclose much information about the upcoming vehicle, other than it being described as “a fresh and revolutionary concept car.” Additionally, the teaser, as well as the next two teasers set to be unveiled in a matter of days, will offer a sneak peek into one potential direction for the brand’s electric future.
Upon further examination of the image, it is evident that the word “Halcyon” has been both flipped vertically and horizontally on the upper portion. Interestingly, this specific name was officially trademarked by Stellantis in the latter part of last year.
Aside from the obscured name on the preview, there is minimal information we could gather from the mauve/vermillion/crimson picture. It seems to be an aerial shot of the prototype, with the illuminated section in the forefront mimicking a false front grille. The obscured section in the center likely portrays either a black rooftop or a panoramic glass panel.
It has been announced that Chrysler plans to release its next vehicle in 2025. CEO Christine Feuell has confirmed that it will be an electric crossover with two rows, taking inspiration from the Airflow Concept revealed in 2022. This timeline suggests that the concept will likely serve as a close preview of the upcoming EV, which is expected to be unveiled sometime this year.
It is worth mentioning that Chrysler is one of the four brands under Stellantis that will reap advantages from the latest STLA Large platform, a structure that will give rise to eight electric vehicles by 2026, including the electrified version of Dodge Charger.
After discontinuing the Chrysler 300, the only remaining car in the American automaker’s fleet is the Pacifica minivan. This puts pressure on Chrysler to swiftly introduce new vehicles in order to survive as a brand. The longer they wait, the greater the possibility of being phased out.
On February 13, 2024, we will gain insight into Chrysler’s electric future and its latest EV concept during its unveiling.
