Chrysler Halcyon, good idea, but we’re waiting for something else

Dim 18/02/2024 – We will have to wait until 2025.

We were inspired by this last year, since the discontinuation of the 300 sedan (after 18 years of work), Chrysler, once a thriving brand, no longer has a lineup, as the brand no longer produces a single model. And what’s more, it’s a minivan, so a niche car. We expect a new Chrysler in 2025, electric based on the Grand STLA platform (like the Dodge Charger), will have a difficult task of reviving the brand, and for now, here’s an idea. Halcyonin which there is only one certainty, which is that it does not represent the future production of the next year.
A large windshield, extremely low ground clearance, rear doors that open awkwardly without a center pillar, a roof with side openings that rise towards the sky … We immediately see that this is not a production car, this Halcyon concept it’s too far. from it.
There is also no technical sheet to accompany this Halcyon, which is just pure styling exercise. We will still consider some ideas that can be found in the production car of the future, such as a tilting central screen, or a steering wheel that can be hidden in the dashboard, or even a large use of recycled materials, since they reach 95%. of the interior.
Chrysler then reveals that this concept has a lithium-sulfur battery. It is not easy to see this in the concept, but if the Chinese have just launched the production of this type of battery, it is intended for low-end cars. Lithium-sulfur remains inferior to lithium-ion (maybe not for long?), and is the first to see a car in the top equipped segment.
The new electric Chrysler of the future will be a crossover, and this Halcyon concept is just there to tell us that Chrysler isn’t a completely dying brand, but… We’re waiting for more. A production car that people will want to buy.
