Chrysler Halcyon, takes us into a viable electric future – News and Highlights

With the Halcyon Concept, just presented in the US, Stellantis is pushing itself – currently targeting that important market – beyond the boundaries of innovation. And it does so by offering a far-reaching vision of the electric future of the Chrysler brand with a very rich technological design.
The American press notes that Chrysler’s plans call for the entire family of electric cars to be ready by 2028, i.e. 3 years after the launch of the first battery-powered model (it should be a crossover that will probably be followed by a three-row SUV wheel). And then it’s reasonable to assume that a sports sedan like the Halcyon could go into production between 2027 and 2028.
Halcyon, a four-door, four-seater cabin built on the Group’s Stla electric platform, embraces a modern, compact and sustainable design with full driving autonomy (Level 4) as well as a personalized and intuitive experience. some ‘futuristic’ in human-machine relationship.
The platform on which Halcyon takes this step forward is represented by a set of technologies that complement the Stla platform, namely Brain, SmartCockpit and AutoDrive. It all aims to deliver what the company describes as Harmony in Motion in a series model that will emerge in 3-4 years.
“Our concept creates a level of stability that perfectly represents the Halcyon name – said Chris Feuell, CEO of the Stellantis Chrysler brand during the presentation – and offers innovative and sustainable mobility solutions that embrace technology and provide value to customers by offering Harmony when the same. in Motion”.
“The Halcyon Concept brings an all-electric tomorrow to life through new Stellantis technology suites that combine simple, clean aerodynamic design with a smooth, connected and engaging driving experience.”
Halcyon’s exterior design is clean and aerodynamic, with a possible balance between aerodynamic and sculptural elements. Proportions (the car is comparable to the Lucid Air, which has a length of 4.97 meters) create a low profile and the passage of the front aerodynamic air blade that improves performance and above all freedom.
In this context, the height is reduced from the bottom of the stand (10 cm in front) but this aspect can be managed thanks to the presence of suspension and electrically adjustable.
Thin, blade-shaped side mirrors for a slim aerodynamic profile and ‘self-contained’ entry for biometric recognition eliminate the need for door handles.
The lightweight 22-inch wheels have a unique turbine-shaped design, and the covers feature a new interpretation of Chrysler’s wing logo. The wheels are fitted with Pirelli 255/35R22 tires with low rolling resistance.
Access on board is made easier with a double opening system that combines folding doors with a roof and central ‘butterfly’ zip. The Halcyon Concept uses 95% sustainable interior materials, including new Chrysler wing emblems that are made from shredded and recycled music CDs.
An AI assistant prepares the Chrysler Halcyon for the journey, using the Intelligent Cabin Comfort feature to set Hvac levels and use predictive navigation through better traffic routing.
Halcyon Concept technologies include the Stla AutoDrive technology platform, which enables a Level 4 autonomous driving experience. The driver can still use voice recognition to activate the steering wheel and control the vehicle for the thrill of driving at speed.
At the moment Stellantis has not presented the technical details of the Chrysler Halcyon Concept, other than the presence of lithium-sulphur 800 Volt batteries (environmental impact less than 60%) and the innovative Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer (Dwpt) technology for charging the car wirelessly . travel on designated road sections.
This car looks forward to a future where by using the DWPT system it will be possible to travel electrically on designated roadways, with unlimited freedom. Stellantis – note recalls – demonstrated the potential of Wireless Energy Transfer in 2022 at the Arena del Futuro circuit in Chiari, in the province of Turin.
